Welcome to the home of the "Great Unconquered and Unconquerable Chickasaw Nation!" We hope your visit is warmed by the spirit of hospitality shared among our people and the communities of south central Oklahoma.
Experience the adventure, the wonder and the fun of our ancient hills, natural springs and deep, clear lakes. Take a walk in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Sulphur, one of the state's two national parks, named by Indian tribes as the "Peaceful Valley of Rippling Waters," where inter-tribal disputes and warfare were forbidden. Opening soon adjacent to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area is the new Chickasaw Cultural Center. Located on 109 acres, the Chickasaw Cultural Center will use live performances, high-technology multimedia exhibits and galleries, as well as natural outdoor spaces to share the story of the unconquered and unconquerable Chickasaw Nation.One could easily spend several days at the multi-building campus exploring Chickasaw history and the rolling hills, woodlands and streams of the destiNATION.
Imagine hundreds of years of human drama unfolding when visiting our historic capital city of Tishomingo and its stately granite Chickasaw Nation Capitol Building or the Chickasaw National Bank--both built during the 19th century. The Chickasaw Council House Museum gives a look back at the lives of those who helped settle this part of the state and provides genealogical services enabling you to trace your own history.

Each year the spirit of this rich and enterprising people is celebrated during the Chickasaw Festival and Annual Meeting which takes place in late September, early October in the historic capital of Tishomingo.
