  • Choctaw and Creek Removals
    Chapter 6 Choctaw and Creek Removals The idea of indian removal as a government obligation first reared its head in 1802 when officials of the state of Georgia made an agreement with federal government officials. In the Georgia Compact, the state of Georgia gave up its claims to territorial lands west of that state in exchange for $1,250,000 and a promise that the federal government would abolish Indian title to Georgia lands as soon as possible. How seriously the government took its obligation to Georgia at the time of the agreement is unknown. The following year, however, the Louisiana Purchase was made, and almost immedi- ately, the trans-Mississippi area was seen by some as the answer to “The Indian Problem.” Not everyone agreed. Some congress- men argued that removal to the West was impractical because of land-hungry whites who could not be restrained from crossing the mighty river to obtain land. Although their conclusion was correct, it was probably made more in opposition to President Jefferson than from any real con- cern about the Indians or about practicality. Although some offers were made by government officials to officials of various tribes, little Pushmataha, Choctaw was done about removing the southeastern tribes before the War of 1812. warrior During that war several Indian tribes supported the British. After the war ended, many whites demanded that tribal lands be confiscated by Removals 67 the government as punishment for Indians’ treasonous activities. Many Americans included all tribes in their confiscationdemands , evidently feeling that all Indians were guilty, despite the fact that many tribes did not participate in the war.

  • Outline of United States Federal Indian Law and Policy
    Outline of United States federal Indian law and policy The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to United States federal Indian law and policy: Federal Indian policy – establishes the relationship between the United States Government and the Indian Tribes within its borders. The Constitution gives the federal government primary responsibility for dealing with tribes. Law and U.S. public policy related to Native Americans have evolved continuously since the founding of the United States. David R. Wrone argues that the failure of the treaty system was because of the inability of an individualistic, democratic society to recognize group rights or the value of an organic, corporatist culture represented by the tribes.[1] U.S. Supreme Court cases List of United States Supreme Court cases involving Indian tribes Citizenship Adoption Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v.

  • THE PATH of EDUCATION AMONG the MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAW Stark
    FROM POVERTY TO PROSPERITY: THE PATH OF EDUCATION AMONG THE MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAW Stark D. Harbour A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts & Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Malinda Maynor Lowery Keith S. Richotte William Sturkey © 2019 Stark D. Harbour ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Stark D. Harbour: From Poverty to Prosperity: The Path of Education among the Mississippi Choctaw (Under the direction of Malinda Maynor Lowery) The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians knew early in their post-recognition existence that education was the key to future success for the tribe. From 1945 to 1963, the MBCI methodically built the framework for an autonomous school district that would provide students with a comprehensive curriculum that addressed tribal needs. The crowning achievement of this project was a high school that kept tribal members in the community for their secondary education. This analysis traces the creation of Choctaw Central High School from conception to completion and highlights the contributions of tribal leaders in making the project a major tribal success. Tribal Chairmen like Emmet York and Philip Martin helped develop a progressive school curriculum and the capital necessary to fund the school as an independent entity. Choctaw Central High School serves as a prime example of Choctaw self-determination and shrewd diplomacy to advance tribal education and the MBCI’s external image. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1: FROM POVERTY TO PROSPERITY ..................................................................

  • The Mississippi Choctaw and Racial Politics
    The Mississippi Choctaw and Racial Politics In December of 1912, Mississippi Representative Pat Harrison stood before Congress and made an impassioned speech on behalf of the Choctaw Indians living in his district along the Gulf Coast. In a heavily edited version of the past, Harrison announced, “Mr. Chairman, the Choctaw Indians always stood with the white men of the South.”1 These Indians were the descendants of those who had remained in Mississippi when the Choctaw Nation ceded its territory in Mississippi, and the majority of Choctaws moved to Indian Territory, today Oklahoma, in the 1830s. Left landless, most Choctaws had withdrawn into isolated, poverty-stricken ethnic enclaves where virtually all survived as sharecroppers and low-paid day laborers. While the Choctaws were not officially classified under the segregation statutes as “colored,” they nonetheless suffered discrimination because of customary racial segregation. They had no access to “white” schools or other facilities. Yet Harrison and the Mississippi congressional delegation, all ardent supporters of segregation, were seeking redress for the injustice the Indians had suffered in the removal era and more recently when the United States closed the roll of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma, excluding most Mississippi Choctaws from the benefits stemming from Choctaw Nation citizenship. Their support of the Choctaws puts an interesting kink in the state’s racial politics. 1 The efforts of the congressmen reflected how the Choctaws’ relationship to Mississippi politicians had changed: in the nineteenth century, politicians had answered the Indians’ cries for justice with renewed attempts to hound them out of the state. The willingness of Mississippi’s civic leaders to carry the Choctaws’ banner in the early twentieth century raises significant questions.
