What is chickasaw?
A tribe indigenous to eastern North America. Originally occupying the modern day areas of northern Mississippi, northwestern Alabama, western Tennessee, and far western Kentucky, they were tricked into signing away their territory in turn for territory in Oklahoma. They removed in 1837 to their current residence in the cities of Ada, Tishomingo, Ardmore, and others in southern Oklahoma. Their culture is related to that of the Choctaw, Muskogee Creek, Seminole, Yuchi, and other indigenous people of the southeastern woodlands. The Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma still hosts stomp dances, stickball games, as well as language classes for their endangered Muskogean language of around fifty speakers. The Chickasaw are known as "the unconquered and unconquerable," as well as "the Spartans of the southeast."
