Program Details

During this week-long group trip, eligible Chickasaw elders will be able to enjoy fellowship and community on a journey through the Chickasaw Homeland. Elders can engage with Chickasaw history and culture while connecting to the land, waterways and significant sites of our ancestors.

Selected Chickasaw elders may be accompanied by one companion who must be a spouse or blood relative and at least 21 years old. Expenses for travel, meals and lodging will be provided.

Chickasaw elders only need to apply once to be considered for future opportunities. Selection is made at random, and acceptance is limited to one trip per citizen.
