===Classes and programs===
The [[Chickasaw Nation]] has a department of Chickasaw Language with a 24-member Chickasaw Language Committee. In 2007, the tribe founded the Chickasaw Language Revitalization Program. Four levels of Chickasaw language classes are taught at [[East Central University]] in [[Ada, Oklahoma]]. Joshua D. Hinson (called "Lokosh," meaning gourd, in the language), director of the Chickasaw Language Committee developed master-apprenticeship programs with guidance from linguist [[Leanne Hinton]].<ref name=lsa>[http://lsacelp.org/2012/05/09/chickasaws-are-on-the-move/ "Chickasaws Are On the Move."] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120716233556/http://lsacelp.org/2012/05/09/chickasaws-are-on-the-move/ |date=July 16, 2012 }} ''Linguistics Society of America Committee on Endangered Languages and their Preservation.''
