the other hand, maintain a ceremonial stomp dance and stickball playing ground that doesn't use medicine. This is because, over the years of assimilation through American Indian boarding schools, much of the culture was beat out of the Chickasaws, leaving few medicine men left to doctor the ground (located at Kallihomma', just outside of Allen, Oklahoma). Chickasaws still dance, though. They keep the dance alive with their dance troupe and the stomp ground which hosts dances at four times a year in the summer, along with Chickasaw Reunion, which is a festival held in place of the long lost busk ceremony held by Chickasaws until 1936.
