the Chickasaw Nation | Governor Bill Anoatubby

Thank you for visiting the web site of Governor Bill Anoatubby, the 30th Governor of the Chickasaw Nation. We hope you will take a moment to learn more about the governor’s office and the Chickasaw Nation.

The Chickasaw Nation, in partnership with the Choctaw Nation, last year filed a federal lawsuit seeking to protect our rights regarding our water resources within our tribal nation boundaries.

You may have seen the full-page advertisement inserted in most of the state’s newspapers last week. In that ad, we attempted to briefly present the real issues in the case.

Additionally, Chief Pyle and I have submitted a Letter to the Editor to most of the state’s newspapers. We believe it sums up the issues succinctly. It is reprinted at the link below.

Protection and respect of our historic tribal rights is, of course, of critical importance. Our history dictates we much be very active and engaged when our sovereign rights are under siege.
