About this event
The Chickasaw Inkana Foundation's inaugural Native American heritage Month Luncheon will not only appreciate and celebrate the diverse and rich cultures, histories, and traditions of all Native Americans, but this annual event also launches the "Journey Home" Capital Campaign for the Chickasaw Heritage Center.
The Chickasaw Heritage Center offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the founding of a new cultural institution within the community. We invite individuals, small businesses, foundations, corporations, and other organizations to join us in this historic endeavor that will impact the Chickasaw Nation, Tupelo and greater northeast Mississippi for generations to come. We implore you to support this meaningful effort as we embark upon a major Capital Campaign journey to raise funds for the construction of the forthcoming Chickasaw Heritage Center.
This is an educational fundraising event with 100% of all monies raised through Ad sales and ticket purchases going towards the Chickasaw Heritage Center's "Journey Home" Capital campaign Fund. In addition, all Ad purchasers will be recognized as a Charter Member on the Capital campaign website. The Chickasaw Inkana Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization sponsoring this Luncheon and leading the effort to build the Chickasaw Heritage Center.
