Sorry folks...I have misinformed you. In checking, The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was to give out land allottments in Mississippi, not Okla. According to the Neshoba Co. page, some 6,000 Choctaws met with Andrew Jackson's representatives on September 18, 1830 in Neshoba at Dancing Rabbit Creek to iron out their differences. By Sept. 24 most of the Choctaws had left finding the provisions of the treaty unacceptable. On the 25th, the treaty with its new provision (Article 14) spelling out terms by which the Choctaw could stay in the East, receive land allotments and become Mississippi citizens was presented for negotiation and was agreed to and signed by those few remaining Choctaw leaders. Apparently "the land allotment provision turned out to be largely ignored by the United States and after five years not a single section of the 500 acres of land alloted to Choctaws remained under their ownership. For many years, those tribel members who stayed in Mississippi were a people without any lands, and made their living primarily from sharecropping on their own homeland for white settlers." sherry dustyc@microgear.net -----Original Message-----
