This book is the third in a series on the Five Civilized Tribes. Original inspiration for the series came from Foxfire, a study of the Appalachian mountain people. Like that book, these have attempted to set down some of the customs, legends, and folklore of the Indian people. The Indian Way: The Chickasaws is a series of human interest stories of Chickasaws we thought interesting. We talked with people of all ages, from high school sophomores to a 97 year old. We talked not only about the past, but we also tried to determine through talks with tribal leaders some of the directions in which the tribe can be expected to go within the next few years."-- Page iv.

Dorothy Milligan was born in 1926 in Snow Hill, Arkansas, and moved to Sulphur, Oklahoma, as child. There she began her career in journalism at the town newspaper while still in high school. She earned a master's degree in English and journalism from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma, pursued a career in education as a teacher and counselor at Byng Public Schools, and later worked as a correspondent for the Ada Evening News. Milligan continued to indulge her lifelong love for writing and in the 1970s compiled The Indian Way series, as well as a book of children's stories based on interviews of First Americans.
