The study of the arts and humanities is necessary to the success of the Chickasaw Nation. The disciplines highlight the culture by expressing the beauty, strength, intelligence and spirit of the people and enhance the rich legacy of who Chickasaws were, who they are and who they will be.

The Chickasaw Nation Division of Arts & Humanities seeks to enrich the heritage of the Chickasaw Nation and its citizens by creating and developing awareness, understanding and enjoyment of Chickasaw visual, performing and literary arts.
