Chickasaw Nation News

In this episode of CNTV News, Brad Clonch and Quin Tran take us first to Ada, Oklahoma, to meet citizen Claire Bohanan. At Ada's Child Development Center & Head Start Program, she's known as Grandma Claire for her involvement in the Nation's Foster Grandparent Program. Seniors age 55 and older are invited to participate in the program; for more information, call 580-421-7711. Next, we learn that the U.S. Department of the Interior recognized the Chickasaw Nation with its "Partners in Conservation" award for its assistance during record flooding and weather-related destruction in 2015. And, with Valentine's Day coming up, OKC-metro area shoppers will be excited to know that Bedré Fine Chocolate is now available in Crest Food grocery stores. Finally, we learn about a new offering via the Chickasaw Press, called "Ilittibaaimpa': Let's Eat Together!" The book features recipes handed down through generations in both of its author's families. For more information on the book, visit ChickasawPress.com.
