With a goal to ignite a passion for humanities and literary arts in young and old alike, this department serves as advocate for the study of Chickasaw humanities - history, art, language, culture, philosophy and government - and also promotes literary arts among Chickasaws and other tribes.
While currently providing facilitation and instruction for college credit courses through the Chickasaw Clemente humanities study courses at East Central University (ECU) in Ada and Murray State College (MSC) in Tishomingo, the department is also developing adult humanities seminars and similar children's festivals. Additionally, the department provides opportunities for training with literary professionals, for participation in literary arts contests and events, for publication of works, and for promotion of Native American authors and literature.
Fostering the humanities through all of the arts, other programs within this department include the Chickasaw and Southeastern Tribal Artists' Directory, the Chickasaw Nation employee art show, and involvement in various organizations supporting the arts and humanities.
