We are dedicated to preserving and sharing the Chickasaw language. Our mission is to support learners, strengthen our community, and ensure the Chickasaw language thrives for generations to come.

OUR STORY 

A Dream to Produce Chickasaw Speakers

Chickasaw Online Language Arts was founded by Sherrie Begay (Fani' Iskanno'si'). Sherrie is a Certified Chickasaw Language Instructor and an expert in Chickasaw grammar.

​

After building the first successful online Chickasaw language grammar course in 2015, she refocused on her original passion of teaching: producing Chickasaw speakers.

​

You'll find that her approach to teaching Chickasaw is amazingly effective. She developed it over many years, and it has helped her realize her dream of producing many Chickasaw speakers, no matter their age or lack of prior knowledge.

​

More specifically, she uses the perfect blend of activities, from the fastest methods of language learning in the world, to produce fun, engaging lessons that students rave about. And because it's super low stress, learning Chickasaw is nearly automatic.

"Our language is more than words—
it is our history, our stories, and our way of life.
Together, we can keep it alive."
