Annual Report of Department of Interior
Fiscal Year ended June 30, 1898.
Report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Washington Government Printing Office 1898
The New York Public Library-
II.
LNo. 11.]
E. J. Horne v. The Choctaw Nation.
In this case the pleadings and proof show that the
claimant is a Mississippi Choctaw,
and that prior to his application to be enrolled he had,
in good faith, moved into the
Choctaw Nation, and on the 9th day of September, 1800,
filed with5976 30the Dawes Commission his application to be enrolled as a
Choctaw citizen. That he
is a Choctaw by blood.
The act conferring jurisdiction on the commission to
negotiate with the Five Civilized
Tribes, called the "Dawes Commission," entitled "An act
making appropriation for
current and contingent expenses of the Indian
Department," eta approved
June 10, 1890 (Stat. L., 181)5-90, p. 339), among other
things provid that "every
application for citizenship must be made to the
commission with three months after
the passage of the aforesaid act." And, therefore, the
claimant in this case, having
complied with that provision of the statute, and being
"Mississippi Choctaw," and
having returned to the Choctaw Nation in good faith
under the rule laid down in the
decision just rendered, in the case of Jack Amos et al.
v. Choctaw Nation, he is entitled
to be enrolled as a Choctaw citizen, unless the fact
that he is a Choctaw of less than
one-eighth blood shall deprive him that right.
On November 5, 1880, the following act of the Choctaw
council was approved and
went in force:
AN ACT entitled "An act defining the quantity of blood
necessary for citizenship."
SEC. 1. Be it enacted by the general council of the
Choctaw Nation assembled. That
hereaft all persons noncitizens of the Choctaw Nation
making or presenting to the
general council petition for rights of Choctaws in this
nation, shall be required to have
one-eighth Choctaw blood and shall be required to prove
the same by competent
testimony.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted. That all applicants for
rights in this nation shall prove
their mature of blood to be white and Indian.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That no person convicted
of any felony or high crime shall
be admitted to the rights of citizenship within this
nation.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted. That this act shall not
be construed to affect persons
within the limits of the Choctaw Nation now enjoying the
rights of citizenship.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That this act shall take
effect and be in force from and after
its passage. (Durant Digest, p. 286.)
By the fourteenth article of the treaty between the
United States and the Cha taw Nation,
negotiated on the 27th day of September, 1830. as
interpreted by the court in the aforesaid
case of Jack Amos et al. v. The Choctaw Nation, all
Missiisippi Choctaws and their
descendants were entitled, upon their removal to the
Choctaw Nation, to all the privileges
of a Choctaw Citizen, except to the right to participate
in their annuities. This right of
citizenship being conferred by the treaty, no law
afterwards enacted by the Choctaw council
can deprive them of that right, because it would be in
conflict with the treaty, which confers
that right to them and their descendants, without
reference to the quantity of Indian blood.
If they are descendants of Choctaw ancestors, it is
sufficient. As to then therefore, the law
does not apply.
In this case the claimant is entitled to be enrolled as
a Choctaw citizen. Thedecision of the Dawes Commission is and judgment will be
entered for the claimant.

A Note from; Leo Pergson the Carroll County Mississippi
Coordinator;
Those Ancestors of MCR-14th Article Claimants

Cards (Certificate Degree of Indian Blood) in that the
Choctaw Nation Oklahma/
does not except any' CDIB Application with an MCR-14th
Article Criteria
Attached to a Roll Number- and/Mississippi Band (1945)-
Compliant under

are "Universal"
Recognized under "Five Civilized Tribes" Oklahoma-
However the Mississippi
Band and the Choctaw Nation (Oklahoma) That the
Government under Article
3rd Removed the Body of Choctaw Nation (Oklahoma) and
1831-1837 the
Government forced the Remaining Choctaw in Mississippi
to move to the
Indian Territories and Recognized under same' 1830
Treaty of Dancing Rabbit
Creeek, under the "Five Civilized Tribes" Oklahoma-
In that the Choctaw Nation Oklahma/ does not except any'
CDIB Application with
an MCR-14th Article Criteria Attached to a Roll Number-
Is in conflict with the
by Choctaw Nation CDIB Application 14th Article 1830
Treaty- in that the 14th
article does not separate the CDIB-Certification by
Choctaw Blood of 14th Article
Claimant from "Privileges of Choctaw Citizenship" and
the right to participate in
their annuities and whether in Choctaw
Nation/or/Mississippi Band is in direct
Enrollment Conflict with the 14th Article 1830 Treaty of
Dancing Rabbit Creek-Mississippi- Although, many 14th Article Claimant Rights
have been violated by
the Choctaw Nation(S) Rights of Citizenship in the
Choctaw Nation(S) However, the rights of 14th article Claimants and Ancestors
thereof; must continue
to pursue/and/ restore the Lost Federal/National Choctaw
Inherent Rights of the
MCR-14th Article Claimants-
"This right of citizenship being conferred by the
treaty, no law afterwards enacted
by the Choctaw council can deprive them of that right,
because it would be in
conflict with the treaty, which confers that right to
them and their descendants,
without reference to the quantity of Indian blood"
ARTICLE XIV.
Each Choctaw head of a family being desirous to remain
and become a citizen
of the States, shall be permitted to do so, by
signifying his intention to the Agent
within six months from the ratification of this Treaty,
and he or she shall thereupon
be entitled to a reservation of one section of six
hundred and forty acres of land,
to be bounded by sectional lines of survey; in like
manner shall be entitled to one
half that quantity for each unmarried child which is
living with him over ten years
of age; and a quarter section to such child as may be
under 10 years of age, to
adjoin the location of the parent. If they reside upon
said lands intending to become
citizens of the States for five years after the
ratification of this Treaty, in that case a
grant in fee simple shall issue; said reservation shall
include the present improvement
of the head of the family, or a portion of it.
"Persons who claim under this article shall not lose the
Privilege of a Choctaw Citizen,
but if they ever remove are not to be entitled to any
portion of the Choctaw annuity"
