For years, tribal historian Richard Green has been researching and writing the history of the Chickasaw Nation.

Green has conducted extensive research with two objectives in mind: he uses primary and secondary sources to develop his own original writing and also makes copies of records, documents and articles for deposit in tribal repositories.

Green interviews Chickasaws who would like to pass along information and stories about their lives.

Some of Green's articles, essays, oral histories and profiles that appeared in the The Journal of Chickasaw History and the Times from 1994-2005 are featured in, Chickasaw Lives, published by Chickasaw Press in 2007.
