"First Encounter" examines the actions taken by the Chickasaws in 1540 during their initial contact with Europeans. The documentary showcases the encounters, struggles and resilience of the Chickasaw people throughout Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto's attempted conquest. This first European contact established the enduring reputation of the Chickasaw as "Unconquered and Unconquerable," a legacy that remains to this day.
