The Chickasaw Nation

About Us

The Chickasaw Nation is a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Ada, Oklahoma, dedicated to serving the Chickasaw people while strengthening communities across south-central Oklahoma. Through leadership, cultural preservation, and economic development, the Chickasaw Nation provides a wide range of programs and services including health care, education, housing assistance, employment opportunities, and community support.
The Chickasaw Nation plays a vital role in Oklahoma’s economy and regional growth through its many businesses, tourism destinations, and community partnerships. Their mission centers on improving the quality of life for Chickasaw citizens while promoting cultural heritage, family values, and long-term community prosperity.

With more than 80,000 citizens and a tribal jurisdiction spanning much of south-central Oklahoma—including McClain County—the Chickasaw Nation continues to invest in programs, services, and initiatives that benefit both tribal citizens and neighboring communities.
