In mid-autumn 2018 eight Chickasaw elders gathered in the council house on the grounds of Kullihoma, the Chickasaw Nation’s cultural site in south central Oklahoma. There they shared old and new stories with an audience of children and adults. Those stories are presented in Shikonno'pa' Anoli' (Stories to Tell). The forty stories told that historic night reveal much of what we consider essential about our First American and Chickasaw cultures.
