Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A unique never before transcribed series for the Identified Mississippi Choctaw Enrollment Cards, 1902-1909, including a copy of the original and a transcribed copy of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, a copy of the Dawes Final Roll of Mississippi Choctaws, September 25, 1902, an example of a Dawes Packet showing how the Choctaw had to prove their heritage even seventy years after Dancing Rabbit Creek. The people within this series are the original descendants from the early 1800's to the present-day Mississippi Choctaw. There is a brief, heartfelt history for the people within these pages even reaching the very souls of the Mississippi Band of today. The remaining volumes in this series contain the Dawes Packet for each applicant, when provided. These informational folders (with testimony) are important for anyone researching their Choctaw heritage. The wealth of information the Choctaw people had to provide to the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes is incredible. You will have dates for births, deaths, marriages; correspondence; communication between attorney and client; witnesses; the ruling of the Commission handed down to the applicants and so much more. These cards and Dawes Packets could well mix with the original series, Choctaw By Blood Enrollment Cards 1898 - 1914 because of the relations of both those that moved to Indian Territory and those that stayed in Mississippi or returned, thus connecting thousands of tribal members and bloodlines from both sides of the spectrum. Within these transcribed pages it's possible to actually get to know and understand what circumstances each individual faced while making an effort to get back at least a part of what was originally theirs from the start....
