The United Houma Nation (UHN) is a state recognized tribe of approximately 19,000 tribal members residing within a six-parish area encompassing 4,570 square miles. Within this area, distinct tribal communities are situated among the interwoven bayous and canals where Houmas traditionally earned a living. Although by land and road these communities are distant, they were historically very close by water.
The Tribe today is presented with the unique challenges of preserving and maintaining our culture and way of life when the land is disappearing from underneath our feet. The UHN is committed and dedicated to doing exactly that. For more information, please visit their Facebook or website.
