Chikasha Stories, Volume One: Shared Spirit

The Chickasaw Press is proud to preserve Chickasaw storytelling tradition with the Chikasha Stories app. Based on the award-winning book Chikasha Stories, Volume One: Shared Spirit by Chickasaw storyteller Glenda Galvan, the app features highlighted narration that allows children of all ages to read along with our traditional stories in English or Chickasaw. Interactive images let users touch characters and objects on the screen to hear the name spoken in Chickasaw. Presented as childrens stories, each tale teaches important life lessons, and readers can choose to listen along with the narration, or to read each story for themselves. Narratives feature Glenda Galvan, Joshua D. Hinson, Jerry Imotichey, and Joann Ellis. Illustrations by award-winning Chickasaw artist Jeannie Barbour.
