In the Early 1800's, Christian Missionaries brought the gospel message to the Choctaw People. They also taught them the music that the early American Christians were singing at the time (shape-note hymns). Recently, about two hundred years later, in Union, Mississippi, present-day shape-note singers, from several southern states, and two choirs of Choctaw Singers gathered together to fellowship and sing.
Below are three sample hymns, each sung by both the shape-note singers and the Choctaw.
