Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex legal landscape surrounding the allocation and ownership of land in the Five Civilized Tribes, including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole Nations. Examining a period of immense change in the American West, the author navigates the intricate web of treaties, agreements, and congressional acts that shaped the legal framework of land ownership in what is now Oklahoma. The book explores the distinct legal structures governing each tribe, comparing and contrasting their unique historical paths and treaty arrangements with the United States. It dives deep into the rights of intermarried citizens and freedmen, unraveling the controversies that arose from their claims to tribal land and citizenship. The author then carefully analyzes the role of the Dawes Commission, established to create tribal enrollment rolls, and its impact on the land allocation process. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the legal battles that surrounded the transition from communal tribal landholding to individual ownership, offering invaluable insights into the development of land rights for indigenous communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
