Chickasaw Language Club hosts Spring Fun Day

ADA — Join the fun with the Chickasaw Nation Chepota Chikasha Anumpoli (children speaking Chickasaw) language club for Spring Fun Day from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, March 29, at Kullihoma.

At the Chepota Chikasha Anumpoli Spring Fun Day, children will learn Chickasaw words related to spring and participate in an egg hunt with many prize eggs.

Chepota Chikasha Anumpoli meetings are part of a Chickasaw language club for children up to the age of 9. The club focuses on the importance of using the Chickasaw language in daily life. Each month the club meets to practice Chickasaw language and embark on a fun adventure that will incorporate newly introduced Chickasaw words.

During Chepota Chikasha Anumpoli meetings, children learn to speak the Chickasaw language, take exciting field trips, do arts and crafts and learn Chickasaw culture and history. Children are also encouraged to speak the language while participating in the activities and during everyday conversations. 

Chepota Chikasha Anumpoli meetings are held one Saturday each month and open to all children interested in learning Chickasaw language up to the age of nine. To join the language club or to inquire about upcoming meetings, contact Michelle Wilson at (580) 436-0553, michelle.wilson@chickasaw.net or visit www.chickasaw.net/cca.
