The Chickasaw Nation is a federally recognized First American tribe of 82,000 citizens. Welcome! Normal business hours are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Today, the Chickasaw Nation is economically strong, culturally vibrant and full of energetic people dedicated to the preservation of family, community and heritage. Since the 1980’s, tribal government has focused on building an economically diverse base to generate funds that will support programs and services to First American people. Business has flourished, programs and services have grown, and
the quality of life for all Chickasaws has been greatly enhanced. Jurisdictional territory of the Chickasaw Nation includes 7,648 square miles of south-central Oklahoma. It encompasses all or parts of 13 Oklahoma counties, including Bryan, Carter, Coal, Garvin, Grady, Jefferson, Johnston, Love, Marshall, McClain, Murray, Pontotoc and Stephens. The Chickasaw Nation’s current three-department system of government was re-established with the ratification of the 1983 Chickasaw Nation Constitution. The elected officials provided for in the Constitution believe in a unified commitment, whereby government policy serves the common good of all Chickasaw citizens. This common good extends to future generations as well as today’s citizens. The structure of the current government encourages and supports infrastructure for strong business ventures and an advanced tribal economy. The Chickasaw Nation uses new technologies and dynamic business strategies in a global market. As in times past, the Chickasaw work ethic is very much a part of everyday life today. Monies generated in business are divided between investments for further diversification of enterprises and support of tribal government operations, programs and services for Chickasaw people. The Chickasaw Nation offers more than 200 programs and services which directly benefit Chickasaw families and their communities. Revenues generated through tribal business endeavors allow the Chickasaw Nation to invest in programs and services in the areas of education, health care, housing, elders and more. This unique system is key to the Chickasaw Nation’s efforts to pursue self-sufficiency and determination which helps ensure that Chickasaws stay a united and thriving people.
