Download Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Chickasaw AudioBook Free
"Neither the Choctaws nor Chickasaws ever engaged in warfare resistant to the American people, but always stood as their faithful allies." (Horatio Cushman) From Path of Tears to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American record is incomplete without the addition of the Local Americans who resided on the continent before Western settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th hundreds of years. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, terminology, and culture. In Charles River Editors' Local American Tribes series, listeners can get caught up on the annals and culture of North America's most well-known local tribes in enough time it takes to complete a commute. And they can achieve this while learning interesting facts long neglected or never known. The Five Civilized Tribes are among the best known Local American organizations in American record, and they were even celebrated by contemporary Americans for their abilities to adapt to white culture. But tragically also, they are popular tribes due to the trials and tribulations they experienced by being forcibly moved west along the Path of Tears. Though not as popular as the Cherokee, one of the Five Civilized Tribes was the Chickasaw. With roots that tie those to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Chickasaw were one of the very most established organizations in the Southeastern United States, and they were one of the primary natives experienced by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto's historic expedition in the mid-16th century.
