Season's Greetings
Season’s greetings and warm holiday wishes from all of us at the Chickasaw Nation!
We are so very grateful for all the blessings God has bestowed on us. We are especially thankful for our families, our friends and our tribe.
As Chickasaws, we share a very special bond that has been reflected throughout the generations. Chickasaws have so often faced adversity and challenge but, with God’s grace, our people have survived and flourished. It is truly a blessing that our ancestors made the important sacrifices so we might prosper.
This Christmas season, we extend special holiday wishes to all our military men and women serving here at home and overseas. We pray for your safety and the happy day of your reunion with family.
We send our warmest regards to our Chickasaw veterans who have served our country so honorably; to our Chickasaw elders who are the rock of our tribe; to our Chickasaw families for whom we wish much peace, love and togetherness.
We pray a special blessing for our Chickasaw children whom we deeply cherish. It is for them we pray for wonderful, long and full lives.
This season’s message of love, peace and charity is so important for those among us who have experienced challenge and sorrow in their lives. We pray for those who seek meaning and compassion.
Our prayer is that we answer the call when the opportunity comes to help our fellow man.
The season of peace and fullness of spirit has arrived! God bless you, your family and our beloved tribe.
