Moved because root Chickasaw was empty. --ObscureAuthor 05:13, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

This snippet about Chickasaw traditional religion is odd in the article without more information. I put it here in hopes that someday somebody will build on it for the article. --Kevin Myers 21:16, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

Question: Is membership matrilineal, like in the Seminole tribe? (asked by 67.180.54.116 , August 6, 2005) Pollinator 00:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Traditionally, yes. (answered by 129.244.133.105, Nov 10, 2005) Pollinator 00:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

this is a load of buul shit none of it helps on research we need religion up here

Where did this stuff about 13% Chickasaw blood needed for membership come from? My wife's got a card, and was senior accountant for the tribe for a while, and I've never heard this. Please provide a source for this assertion. If not, we should remove it. -Syberghost 20:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I DID remove the silly statement about 13% Chickasaw blood needed for membership...I'm an enrolled voting member of the Chickasaw Indian Nation, and my Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood says I'm 1/16. I believe the criteria for membership is to prove descendance from someone who appears on the Dawes census. MA 11/25/06

chickasaw triiibee

hi im liz and weeeekaaapdia is wrongg

They need to have stricter criteria for membership. Theres nothing but white folk in my tribe.

That may be, but this talk page is reserved only for discussion about improving the article. -kotra 00:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
