note = "Funding Information: A century and multiple removals and reorganizations later, in the late 1990s, the Chickasaw Nation began a small language program that offered Chickasaw‐language classes to community members and Chickasaw Nation employees. After securing a grant from the Administration for Native Americans (a program office within the United States Department of Health and Human Services) in 2006 and substantial support from the tribe itself, the Chickasaw Nation established the Chickasaw Language Revitalization Program in 2007 and founded the Chickasaw Nation Language Department in 2009. As of 2011, the department operates out of its own dedicated building and employs seven to ten full‐time employees, a twenty‐four‐member Chickasaw Language Committee, and a number of Speakers who work as language instructors and consultants. Growth in language‐revitalization efforts over the past decade has resulted in a language‐revitalization program with four main elements: an adult immersion program, youth language activities (children's language club, summer camps, and a family immersion camp), free community language classes for adults offered throughout the geographic territory of the Chickasaw Nation, and language courses at a local area high school and university (East Central University) that fulfill second‐language requirements.
