Chokma!

Welcome to the cultural home of the Chickasaw people. This is a special place, a unique destination where the culture of the Chickasaw people doesn’t just live and breathe - it plays, creates, cooks, dances and sings.

We recommend beginning your journey in the Chikasha Poya Exhibit Center, where you’ll be introduced to the inspiring history of the Unconquered and Unconquerable Chickasaw.

You are welcome to explore the grounds any way you like: immerse yourself in the Chikasha Inchokka' Traditional Village, wander the gardens and browse fine art and gifts.

We’re excited to share our living history and culture with you!
