Seal of the Chickasaw Nation

=== Piominko (Hopayi’ Minko’) (1750-1799) or “prophet leader”. Sometimes the name is spelled Piomingo. Also called the "Mountain Leader". He was a Native American Chickasaw warrior who became a great "War Minko" (War Chief) of the Chickasaw Nation and was considered the consensus leader of the Chickasaw Nation during the late 18th century. He spent much of his early years growing up among the Cherokee. Piominko was the nephew of Little Turkey Principal Chief of the original Cherokee Nation. Through Piominko's friendship with President George Washington and support for America, he halted Spain's push into the southeast and secured America's western advancement. His final home was the Chickasaw Village of Long Town (Chokka’ falaa’) which was located within the city limits of present day Tupelo, Mississippi. ===
