Tribal historian Richard Green has been researching and writing the history of the Chickasaw Nation for many years.

Green has conducted extensive research with two objectives in mind: he uses primary and secondary sources to develop his own original writing and also makes copies of records, documents and articles for deposit in tribal repositories.

Green interviews Chickasaws who would like to pass along information and stories about their lives.

Many of Green's articles, essays, oral histories and profiles that appeared in The Journal of Chickasaw History while he was founding editor from 1994-99 and The Chickasaw Times from 1999 through 2010 are featured in his three volume set titled, Chickasaw Lives.

• Volume One: Explorations in Tribal History was published in 2007.
• Volume Two: Profiles and Oral Histories was published in 2009.
• Volume Three: Essays Past and Present was published in 2010.

All volumes are available from Chickasaw Press.

He also authored Te Ata, Chickasaw Storyteller, American Treasure for the University of Oklahoma Press in 2002.

Green is researching and writing two books for Chickasaw Press. One is on Chickasaw warriors from prehistory to 1900; the other covers prehistory to 1763.
