Chickasaw Nation News

In this episode of CNTV News, Brad Clonch and Quin Tran introduce us to the five outstanding citizens inducted this year into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame: elders advocate and tribal legislator Mary Jo Thomas Green; former U.S. Diplomatic Corps Foreign Service Officer M. Franklin Keel; Indian Law scholar Kevin K. Washburn; Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Raymond Harvey and businessman/political figure Holmes Tuttle (father of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom Robert Tuttle). We also visit the 2017 Artesian Arts Festival, a favorite annual event in Sulphur held Memorial Day weekend. The Chickasaw Nation hosts the festival to share Native American culture and to celebrate the work of American Indian artists.
