The Chickasaw are Native American people originally from the region that would become the Southeastern United States (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee). They are of the Muskogean linguistic group and are federally enrolled as the Chickasaw Nation.

Sometime prior to the first European contact, the Chickasaw migrated and moved east of the Mississippi River, where they settled mostly in present-day northeast Mississippi. The Chickasaw were one of the Five Civilized Tribes, who were forced to sell their country in 1832 and move to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) during the era of Indian Removal. Most Chickasaw now live in Oklahoma. All historical records indicate the Chickasaw lived in northeast Mississippi from the first European contact until the Indian Removal in 1832.

The Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma is the 13th largest federally recognized tribe in the United States. They are related to the Choctaw and share a common history with them. The Chickasaw are divided in two groups: the Impsaktea and the Intcutwalipa.

Chickasaw Video

A short old black and white historical video of Southeastern Native American Indians dancing. The video was dubbed with old tapes of singing. A short glimpse of the traditional dances of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and others that lived in the south easterns part of the United States.

Because it was too long I had to cut the video. It is great to see other types of Native dances besides our own. They were very gracious and it was great to watch. Next time I might get out there and dance too...maybe.

He does a short explanation of dances and songs of the Indian people of the south east. There is a revival of Southeastern Oklahoma tribal songs, dances and style of traditional tribal clothing.

Video of Tornado in Chickasaw County Mississippi as it passed just south of Houston, Ms. This tornado killed 3 and injured 7 in the Houston area then later went on to devistate the town of Smithville, Ms killing 20. The damage was just a few shots from the path as it crossed Hwy 15, then again where it crossed hwy 8. I would estimate the damage as an EF4. Trees were snapped and debarked. A large horse trailer was picked up and thrown hundreds of yards landing in a pond. Cars were thrown around like toys. I did not see where it directly hit any well built structures so take my rating with a grain of salt. This tornado left a damage swath between 1/4 and 1/2 mile and was moving very fast through terrible chase terrain.

The announcer does a great job in explaining the dance. This is a dance our Native American Indians relatives do in south eastern Oklahoma....
