Itawamba Community College Alumni
Levi Colbert (June 2, 1834) was an early 19th-century Chickasaw leader and the namesake of Itawamba County, Mississippi. Early life and education Levi Colbert was born around 1759 in the Chickasaw Nation (present-day Alabama). He was the first of six sons of James Colbert (–1784), a British trader, and his second wife Minta Hoye, a Chickasaw woman. As the Chickasaw had a matrilineal kinship system of descent and inheritance, children were considered to belong to the mother's clan. They gained their status through her, and hereditary leadership for males was passed through the maternal line. Colbert attended Charity Hall School.

The post was marked by a large spreading oak known as the council tree. Career Levi Colbert and his brother George were prominent among the ...
