Chickasaw
Southeastern indigenous people
Chickasaw refers to a Native American people originally from the southeastern United States, particularly present-day Mississippi and Alabama, or a member of that nation.
The Chickasaw were forcibly relocated to Oklahoma in the 1830s, where the Chickasaw Nation remains a federally recognized tribe.
Chickasaw also names their Muskogean language: She's learning to speak Chickasaw.
