There are many accomplishments to celebrate as we look back on 2007. One hundred years after statehood, an event many thought would sound the death knell for our nation, we are stronger than ever. As we reflect on our current success, it is important to understand and appreciate that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. We will continue to succeed as long as we continue to honor the Chickasaw tradition and culture which brings us together as a people, while at the same time looking forward and preparing for the future. Many of our accomplishments in 2007 mark continued growth in our effort to preserve and promote our culture and heritage. Expansion of the division of heritage preservation brought the creation of two new divisions – the division of culture and the division of history, research and scholarship. With these divisions working alongside the division of arts and humanities, the preservation and promotion of Chickasaw heritage continues to be a valuable focus. A commitment to our youth is also an important part of our culture. This year more than $7 million was distributed in the form of scholarships and grants.
