Honoring Our History
Preserving Our Culture
Protecting Our Future
The Grand Caillou/Dulac Band tribal peoples have been living in our ancestral traditional village of Grand Caillou/Dulac along the Louisiana Gulf Coast for centuries. Our ancestors were primarily of the historical Biloxi, Chitimacha and Choctaw but also Atakapas and Acolapissa Tribes. Sustaining the village was done by trapping, fishing, hunting and farming. Our people still continue to live off the water and the land to the best of their ability.
The traditions and cultural practices that were handed down by our ancestors are far less sustaining due to drastic environmental changes brought on by extractive practices, erosion, salt water intrusion and climate change. However, we continue to make great strides in our resilience through knowledge sharing and relationship building.
