About & Archives

Oh Kíyo was formed in 2017 as a play on words while learning the Chickasaw Language as a teen. Oh Kíyo translates to “Oh No!” In English. This business was founded in 2022 and is located in the Heart of the Chickasaw Nation, Sulphur Oklahoma. We currently operate with one designer, Chickasaw Nation Citizen Anna K., and feature ghost artists on request.

Behind The Designs: About The Designer 
“Anna(Frye) Kirby was born and raised in rural Oklahoma Indian Territory since 2000. Her and her mother are Chickasaw citizens from the Byars Oklahoma branch of the Levi Colbert family.
Her father is mixed Okla Choctaw from Sallie Myers of Mead, Oklahoma; also having strong ties to the Kirby family of Sulphur, Oklahoma. She has six brothers, one sister, and countless nieces and nephews.
Growing up, Anna always wanted to be a fashion designer and create extravagant clothing and regalia for our people. She attended Sulphur/Elk City, and received her Bachelors of Health Science in 2022. Since 2022, she has been designing for her Fashion Brand Oh Kíyo, and working in Fashion Show Production. Despite growing up with severe arthritis, she doesn’t let it limit her ability to pursue her passions. She hopes to “inspire design and textile sovereignty for all Native First Nation artists”.
