From the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma…

What began as a casual online discussion among Choctaw community members has grown into a cultural rebirth, reconnecting Native communities with their ancestral roots through the Inchunwa Project.

"We’re bringing these back not only for our elders, but we’re making these new pathways for our future generations to have that be a common sight. For my niece to just do that simple move, it helped bring it all together. This is who it’s for.”

i think you'd really dig Inchunwa- SE Woodlands history and tattoo revitalization focused.
Very indie, niche and nerdy

Contact Inchunwa if you are a SE Native person interested in ancestral piercing and body modification.

My cousin got her inchunwa today. That’s her tribal mark - face tattoo. Her father was adopted by my grandfather so none of us knew about her heritage until recently. Her mother made her hide it I guess. Racism. Watching her learn about her history and all that entails has been so beautiful.

Traditional facial tattoos are part of a powerful movement of #culturalresurgence and #decolonization among #Nativewomen. Reclaiming these practices affirms identity, sovereignty, and resistance. #IndigenousSovereignty #TraditionalTattooing

with the help of our fellow tribes, like the Muscogee and Seminole, we were able to bring this back.’ And so, I never thought of it as them being gone, they just went to sleep and somebody had to have that vision and bring it back and bring it back to the people.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"The practice was once common among the south-eastern Indigenous nations (Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee and others), but after colonization the tradition faded away for many."
But now, people are breathing new life into the practice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
