First Encounter A Chickasaw Nation Production

Summary: First Encounter is a documentary portraying the actions taken by the Chickasaw during their first contact with Europeans. The encounter proved to be the catalyst for the dwindling of Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto's mission for gold and riches in America durign the late 1530s and early 40s. It was the first European contact for the Chickasaws, but perhaps the most important and set the standard by which tribe remained for centuries, and still remains today - "unconqured and unconquerable."
