They're advertising themselves. No, really. I think it's a native pride project or something.

And I'm not positive on this, but I am pretty sure that out of all the native peoples that live here, the Chickasaws are the wealthiest. Like I said, not totally sure on that, but I do recall in my Native American Lit. class learning about one group that had land sitting on top of some serious amounts of oil and they made a killing on it back during the boom. There were parts of Oklahoma that were referred to as "Monte Carlo" because of just how rich some members of this tribe got.

Scratch that. The wealthy ones were the Osage. So this entire comment did nothing to answer your question, but you got a little history lesson :)
