Gov. Palmer S. Mosely
Palmer Simeon Mosely was the 20th and 23rd Governor of the Chickasaw Nation. He served his tribe in many capacities including National Interpreter, a position he held for 24 years.
He was superintendent of schools from 1885 to 1889, trustee of the Wapanucka Academy, vice president of the Bank of Tishomingo, and served two terms as Governor. He was also a member of the Chickasaw Nation House of Representatives and later served as a County Judge.
During his administration, Governor Mosely signed the Atoka Agreement, which began the process of allotment of tribal lands. He helped devise the Supplemental Agreement, which saved the tribe millions of dollars of its own assets.
The love he had for his people spurred him on in a life dedicated to the Chickasaw Nation.
