While currently providing facilitation and instruction for college credit courses through the Chickasaw Clemente humanities study courses at East Central University (ECU) in Ada and Murray State College (MSC) in Tishomingo.

  • High school diploma or GED
  • CDIB and/or citizenship card

The department is also developing adult humanities seminars and similar children's festivals.

Fostering the humanities through all of the arts, other programs within this department include the Chickasaw and Southeastern Tribal Artists' Directory, the Chickasaw Nation employee art show, and involvement in various organizations supporting the arts and humanities.
