Anompilbashsha&; Asilhha&; Holisso: Chickasaw Prayer Book includes topical prayers, readings, and selected passages from the Holy Bible (King James Version) presented in a bilingual Chickasaw and English format. Members of the Chickasaw Language Committee, with Joshua D. Hinson, John P. Dyson, and Pamela Munro, have translated passages of the Bible to offer words of hope, comfort, and blessings in their native Chickasaw language. Christianity has a long and storied history among the Chickasaw people, who first read the Holy Bible in the Choctaw language. This collection marks the first time that multiple selections from the Bible have been translated into the Chickasaw language and made available to the Chickasaw community, general readers, and students and scholars of American Indian languages.
