One of Dinah's favorite quotes is:"Sometimes there are people who are in our lives that God no longer has a purpose for. In order to best live your life you have to know what it feels like to be able to let someone go, even if it means dealing with the heartache of seeing someone whom you thought might be in your life forever, leave as if you no longer mean nothing to them. There are those who will be in our lives for a couple of hours, there will be those who will be in our lives for days, there will be those who will be in our lives for a few years, and there will be those who are meant to be in our lives for a lifetime. Think before you chase after someone who is ready to leave your life, because if they aren't much of a positive force, there is a good chance that they should probably not be in your life anyway.
{"A BIG COMMITMENT"}
MARRIAGE IS A SERIOUS COMMITMENT.IT IS SUPPOSE TO LAST A LIFETIME.NO REASONABLY SANE , SECURE AMERICAN GIRL CHOOSES TO MARRY SOME ONE SHE DOES NOT KNOW FAIRLY WELL.

Our History
From our migration to what is now Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee in prehistoric times to the purchase of our new homeland in south-central Oklahoma in the mid 1800's, the Chickasaw culture and heritage have always had roots in nature and the elements. With the spirits of our forefathers, we possess a proud history as fierce warriors, known as the "Unconquered and Unconquerable" Chickasaw Nation.
Revered in ancient times as "Spartans of the Lower Mississippi Valley," the first contact with Europeans was with Hernando de Soto in 1540. Living in sophisticated town sites, the Chickasaws possessed a highly developed ruling system complete with laws and religion. They conducted a successful trade business with other tribes and with the French and English, and lived largely an agrarian lifestyle, but were quick to go to battle if necessary. They allied with the English during the French and Indian War. Some historians give the Chickasaws credit for the United States being an English-speaking country.
The Chickasaw people moved to Indian Territory during the "Great Removal," on what was called the "Trail of Tears." Other tribes forced to relocate were the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole, called the "Five Civilized Tribes" because of their highly developed ruling systems. The Chickasaws were one of the last to move. In 1837, the Treaty of Doaksville called for the resettlement of the Chickasaws among the Choctaw tribe in Indian Territory. In 1856, the Chickasaws, in order to restore direct authority over their governmental affairs, separated from the Choctaws and formed their own government.
Tribal leaders established the capital at Tishomingo, adopted a constitution and organized executive, legislative and judicial departments of government with the offices filled by popular election. At the outbreak of the Civil War, the Chickasaws signed an alliance with the South and raised troops to fight with the Confederacy. The respected Choctaw/Chickasaw Mounted Regiment, headquartered at Fort Washita, fought some of the last battles of the Civil War. Although suffering hardships after the defeat of the Confederacy, the tribe regained prosperity. Many Chickasaws became successful farmers and ranchers. Chickasaws built some of the first schools, banks, and businesses in Indian Territory.
After Oklahoma statehood in 1907, the President of the United States appointed the principal officers of the Chickasaw Nation. In 1970, Congress enacted legislation allowing the Five Civilized Tribes to elect their principle officers. In 1983, a new Chickasaw constitution was adopted.".
