Images from the Chickasaw Cultural Center, Oklahoma
Back in the 1990s, my father-in-law Richard, my wife, and I visited the Chickasaw Cultural Center south of Norman. I don’t believe it was called that then, but today it is a vibrant, thriving campus replete with exhibits, performances, and a living history village. The accompanying pictures reveal that living history component, and all pictures were taken with permission from the Chickasaw there that day.
