Warrior History
The renowned reputation of Chickasaw warriors is centuries old. Ancient Chickasaws were known as a warrior nation who formed societies to fiercely participate in battle. These warrior societies were ingrained into the Chickasaw way of life.
Chickasaw men commanded a strength and endurance unparalleled in the Southeast, but they were not alone. Chickasaw women participated in battles as well, providing expertise in the fields of strategy and communications.
Beginning with the tribe's first encounter with Europeans during the 1500s, Chickasaws gained a reputation by which the tribe remained for centuries, and still remains today - "unconquered and unconquerable."
The tradition of the Chickasaw warrior has continued to present day, where Chickasaw men and women have answered the call to serve our great nation in every branch of the military, and have fought for their country on numerous battlefields throughout the world.
