As part of National Arts and Humanities month, the Chickasaw Nation hosts the Lowak Sho’li forum every October. This special event, meaning “carry the fire,” brings together people from all walks of life who are passionate about the survival of tribal traditions. Presented in a question-and-answer format, Lowak Sho’li features scholars who share insights about Chickasaw language, philosophy, history, culture and literature.
