One has to remember that (technically) there was no "reservation" until the Miss. Choctaws reorganized in the 1940's. When the last of the land held communally by the Choctaw people was ceded to the government in 1831, and those who chose to stay in Miss. received their individual land allottments, the rest of the land left over was deemed "public lands" and sold or given to white settlers. The last of the Choctaws who had claimed to have filed for land under the 14th Article of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, but were left off the allottment records, were removed to Indian Terr. (Oklahoma) in 1903. Between then and the official reformation of the tribe in 1945 when a constitution and by-laws were approved, those Indians left in Miss. were considered to be citizens of the US, private land owners (in truth, mostly squatters and share-croppers). This was in spite of various forms of government aid in the form of schools, health care and financial aid by both government and missions programs. It is possible that the "reservation" in your oral history referred to a parcel of land that the family managed to hold onto after being received via the 14th Article, but those were few and far-between. Most land was sold or traded soon after allottment. Official reservation land today includes parcels at Redwater (Leake Co.), Standing Pine, Pearl River, Bogue Chitto (Jasper Co.), Tucker Community, Conehatta (Newton Co.) and Bogue Homa (Jones Co.) dusty ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2006 12:24 AM Subject: Re: [CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST] Henrietta Alexander mar.
