Language Sports Camp

The Chickasaw Nation

The Chickasaw Nation's Language Sports Camp is called "Himitta Alhiha' Hoochokoshkomo" which means "the youth are playing" in Chickasaw. The camp offers youths a unique way to learn the language based on the theory that children learn more when they're having fun. For more information, visit Chickasaw.net.
