The League of Celtic Nations is a Non-Profit Organization based in Amarillo, Texas. It is dedicated to the celebration and preservation of our Celtic heritage and culture, their influence on the settlement and development of the High Plains area of the United States (the Texas panhandle, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas), and to the furtherance of educational efforts in the fields of Celtic history, arts and customs.

The Historic Seven Nations of the Celts are Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, Galicia (in Spain), and Brittany (in France). Today's Celtic Nations include the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, anywhere the Celtic people have settled and made their mark!
