Chipota Chikashshanompoli, or "Children Speaking Chickasaw" club, is a vital and vibrant part of the Chickasaw language revitalization program. The club meets once a month and teaches kids both productive and useful words and phrases through a kinesthetic learning method in which they speak and move and the same time.
