Chickasaw Nation

The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

The image is used to identify the organization Chickasaw Nation, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

The Chickasaw Nation presumably retains the copyright on this image. Permission for use of the Chickasaw seal can be granted by the Chickasaw Tribal Legislature (according to [1]). However, permission is unnecessary as this logo is believed to qualify as Fair Use for use on articles mainly about the Chickasaw Nation because it:

• illustrates the main topic of the article,
• is not replaceable (except by a similarly copyrighted flag image), and
• does not misrepresent the seal by using only a portion of the image.
