Nestled deep in the Big Thicket of East Texas lies Texas' oldest  Indian Reservation, home of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. Approximately 500 tribal members call these 4,600 acres of timberland near Livingston, Texas in Polk County their home. The Alabama-Coushatta goes to great lengths to honor their heritage while they carefully consider how decisions made today will affect the Tribe and its families seven generations forward and seven generations back.  This traditional philosphy, combined with a faith-based focus on daily living, helps them stay committed to bettering themselves and their community. We welcome you to our reservation and to our website.
