About Us

Oh Kíyo was founded in 2022 and is located in the Heart of the Chickasaw Nation, Sulphur Oklahoma. We currently operate with two designers, Chickasaw Nation Citizens Anna Frye and Isaac Kemp.

We hope to Unite our Tribal Communities for the greater good by helping revitalize our Chickasaw and Choctaw Arts and Culture. By breathing new life into our stories, we can spread Chickashanompa and share our culture with others.

The Femininity Dress

This dress is an authentic 1956 Women’s Union Made dress. The formation of this Union originated from the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. This event impacted the safety of textile and garment workers, which led to safety measures and organizations coming together to advocate for women workers. This beadwork is made from a vintage bandolier repurposed into a collar and decorum. Includes vintage bone pipe beads, copper beads, and glass seed beads. The shell buttons placement represents fertility.
