Brad Deramus, director of the Chickasaw Heritage Center, joined Tupelo Mayor Todd Jordan at Tuesday night’s Tupelo City Council meeting to read a proclamation designating Oct. 12 as Piominko Day in the city.
The city will host a Piominko Day ceremony in Fairpark on Monday, in front of City Hall, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to officials.
The event honors Piominko, a significant figure in Chickasaw history, and aims to celebrate Chickasaw culture and heritage, organizers said.
