Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

At Tushka Humma in April 1891, the Choctaw General Council gathered to shape the future of their nation through law. These are the official acts they passed, preserved in full: the voice of a sovereign people negotiating power, territory, justice and survival in Indian Territory. History lives in these pages. Laws of the Choctaw Nation presents a rare choctaw legal code from the late 19th century Choctaw Nation, making available a foundational body of choctaw nation legislation at the threshold of Oklahoma statehood. As a tribal law reference and native american law book, it reveals how indigenous governance and rights were asserted through detailed statutes and procedures, offering an unfiltered view of native american sovereignty laws in practice. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for present and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collectors item and a cultural treasure. Invaluable as a primary source for historians and a precise reference for legal researchers, this volume belongs on the shelf of anyone serious about oklahoma native history, native american history books, or indigenous law studies. For casual readers, it offers a compelling window into the workings of a Native nation; for scholars and collectors, it stands as an essential record of law, identity and resilience.
