The Chickasaw Nation
Historian Richard Green has been researching and writing about the history of the Chickasaw Nation since 1994. Green has conducted extensive research with two objectives in mind: he uses primary and secondary sources to develop his own original writing and also makes copies of records, documents and articles for deposit in tribal repositories. Green interviews Chickasaws who would like to pass along information and stories about their lives. Many of Green's articles, essays, oral histories and profiles that appeared in The Journal of Chickasaw History while he was founding editor from 1994-99 and The Chickasaw Times from 1999 through 2010 are featured in his three volume set titled, Chickasaw Lives.
Volume One: Explorations in Tribal History, published in 2007.
Volume Two: Profiles and Oral Histories, published in 2009.
Volume Three: Essays Past and Present, published in 2010.
Volume Four: Tribal Mosaic, published in 2012.
All volumes are available from the Chickasaw Press.
He also authored Te Ata, Chickasaw Storyteller, American Treasure for the University of Oklahoma Press in 2002.
