The Chickasaw are Native American people originally from the Southeastern United States (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee).
They are of the Muskogean linguistic group.
The Chickasaw were a part of the Mississippian culture which was located throughout the Mississippi River valley. Sometime prior to the first European contact,
the Chickasaw moved east and settled east of the Mississippi River. The Chickasaw were one of the "Five Civilized Tribes" who were
forced to sell their country in 1832 and move to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) during the era of Indian Removal; most Chickasaw now
live in Oklahoma. All historical records indicate the Chickasaw lived in northeast Mississippi from the
first European contact until the Indian Removal in 1832.
The Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma is the thirteenth largest federally recognized tribe in the United States. They are related to the Choctaw and
share a common history with them. The Chickasaw are divided in two groups: the Impsaktea and the Intcutwalipa.
