When Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907, the U.S. government declared Chickasaw titles to tribal lands null and void. The Chickasaw Nation was, in effect, legally abolished. Yet for the next sixty years, theChickasaws struggled to regain their sovereign identity, and eventually, in1970, Congress enacted legislation allowing the Five Tribes, including theChickasaws, to elect their own governing of cers. In 1983, the Chickasawsadopted a new constitution for their nation.

In Chickasaw Renaissance, Phillip Carroll Morgan pro les the experiences of the Chickasaw people during this tumultuous period in their history, fromthe dissolution of their government to the resurgence of their nation.

Arriving from the west ages ago, Chickasaws settled ina portion of southeastern North America. They soonbecame embroiled in the deadly quest of Europeancolonial powers to extend their empires to the New

World. By the 1730s, the Chickasaws were targeted for

extermination.But, as Richard Green shows in Chickasaw Lives, the Chickasaw people survivedand prospered. Then their one-time ally, the United States, forced the tribe tomove west to Indian Territory. After several years of despondency, the peoplewere again building a great nation. With some Americans clamoring for Oklahoma statehood, the U.S. government set a date to extinguish the tribesgovernment and land base. Here for the rst time is a selection of articles andessays that explain why that did not happen.
