Answer 1

The ancestral home of the Chickasaws was in the north parts of what are now the states of Alabama and Mississippi. The Chickasaws are one of the "Five Civilized Tribes", so called by Europeans because of their use of plow agriculture.

Stony, the Chickasaws do not now, and have never, lived on a reservation. They held title to their lands in Alabama and Mississippi and when they moved to Oklahoma, they sold these lands to the U.S. government and then purchased land from the Oklahoma Choctaws. The Tribal motto is "Unconquered and Unconquerable". Their first known contact with Europeans was with Hernando De Soto, who, on his exploratory expedition through the South East attempted to expropriate supplies and impress bearers from the tribe. The Chickasaws, resisted violently and drove De Soto from their lands.

Answer 2

Originally they were in the area of Alabama and Mississippi. So they would have had the same type of weather that Alabama and Mississippi have now. Theywere mostly in the upper part of those states and probably the south part of Tennessee as well. And the state lines have been changed through history. Sometimes because of boundary disputes and sometimes because rivers change course, any number of things could have happened.

Answer 3

Here are two really good sites wiht general inforamtion on the Chickasawa. It does not say directly the weather. But you could go to weather.com and look that up for the area and see what it was like in the past. Hope this helps.
