Valorie Walters, Chickasaw Cultural Center Executive Officer, explains that the Aaholiitobli' ("to treasure, honor") Honor Garden is a serene oasis that pays homage to the elders, warriors, and leaders of the Chickasaw Nation throughout history. Engraved granite plaques commemorating each inductee into the Chickasaw Hall of Fame are hung on stone walls that encircle a granite and copper fountain.
