Discover How the World Came to Our DoorSoon after the Revolutionary War, Chickasaw leaders reached out to President Washington and Congress to express their joy in seeing peace and request a meeting to establish diplomatic ties.

The Americans and the Chickasaws built a bond of mutual respect; the great chief Piominko likened "the day whites and reds could be friends" to "getting new eyesight."
