Chickasaw Nation offers to partner with Oklahoma City to complete and open Indian Cultural Center and Museum

The Chickasaw Nation has offered to partner with Oklahoma City to complete and open the American Indian Cultural Center & Museum.

The proposal includes up to $14 million from the tribe over seven years to cover anticipated operating deficits.

In a letter signed by Chickasaw Nation Commerce Secretary Bill Lance, the tribe proposes that it receive authority to develop land around the center.

The tribe also would underwrite a portion of the cost to finish construction of the center, now sitting partially complete at the intersection of Interstates 35 and 40.
