Our Mission

The mission of the Bayou Lafourche Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha Indians is to preserve, protect, and share the unique history, culture, traditions, and language of our people for future generations. This is achieved by uplifting our community through charitable and educational programs—including assistance with healthcare, housing, wellness, and the preservation of our ancestral lands and environment—for our tribal members and the public. 

Our Vision

Guided by the Preamble of our Constitution, our vision is to build a strong, self-sufficient, and thriving nation. We strive to be a community where:  

• Justice is established and tranquility is ensured for all members.

• The health, education, and common welfare of our people are promoted and protected.

• Our economic well-being is secure, and the blessings of freedom are guaranteed.

• Our unique culture, heritage, and traditions are celebrated and passed on to our children.
