Episode Details

Daniel has a dinner guest from the Chickasaw Nation and needs a crash course. We cover their deep roots in the American Southeast, their reputation as the "Spartans of the Lower Mississippi Valley," and the nuanced story of their removal — the only tribe that negotiated and funded its own forced march. We also break down their modern government, the historic 39-year tenure of Governor Bill Anoatubby, and the recent leadership transition to his son, Chris.
