McKennon Rolls; March 10, 1899
Enrollees of Full Blood Choctaw identification to the Dawes Commission March 10, 1899 was submitted by 'report to the Secretary of the Interior"

PROPOSED LEGISLATION FOR THE FULL-BLOOD IDENTIFICATION CHOCTAWS OF MISSISSIPPI, LOUISIANA AND ALABAMA, Congressional report published by the Commission of Indian Affairs in 1913:

"DISAPPROVAL OF MCKENNON ROLL WITHOUT NOTICE, HEARING OR UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION"

"The Indians identified by the Commission under Treaty Act Sept 27, 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, on the “McKennon” roll reported March 10, 1899. On Dec 17, to Dec, 22, 1906, printed notices were sent out to every post office in Mississippi resulting in a number of full blood Choctaw applicants. The Commission received applications, covering 355 Choctaw, bringing the total number of applicants to date 1,665, still less than the 1.923, that was reported in the McKennon rolls on Mar, 10, 1899. In those cases reported there were 539 individuals, that had not appeared before the subsequent hearing of the Commission and were therefore not included in the second roll of Identified Mississippi Choctaws, which was prepared by the Commission under the act of July 1, 1902, and was based upon the hearings conducted in Mississippi in 1900, 1901 and 1902. On March 1, 1907. Subsequently, this roll was disapproved without legal written notice to any interested parties including those Choctaw McKennon enrollees. Disapproved without open Congressional debate hearing and without considering rights of the individual Choctaw who were not included in the McKennon roll. In the letter of Asst. Secretary Jesse E. Wilson of March 1, 1907; disapproving the roll, he states that the Indian Office recommends, "In order that the roll may be disposed of and no question may arise concerning it in the future, that it be disapproved..... In accordance with said recommendation I have this day disapproved the copy of the roll in possession of this office."

In a brief Choctaw report filed by the attorney for Robert L. Owen in the Court of Claims on April 20, 1913, in the following words:
"It will thus be seen that there was a secret underhanded opposition to the Mississippi Choctaws because it must be remembered that this roll of identification made by the Dawes Commission March 10, 1899 and submitted by 'report to the Secretary of the Interior" was pigeon-holed for eight years and then disapproved without notice. This policy was ruinous, for many of the Mississippi Choctaw, full blood Indians, relied upon the Interior Department to advise them when their identification was complete so they might move to the Choctaw country with safety. The Interior Department held those identified on ths roll of 1899 in ignorance and uncertainty until it was too late to move and then disapproved the roll. The gross injustice of this procedure is manifest and no pretense can be made that the controlling officials of the Interior Department really entertained any genuine sympathy with the enrollment of the poor full blood Mississippi Choctaws."

"The Secretary also refused to approve any plan proposed to finance the removal of the Mississippi Choctaws who were too poor to remove themselves, although plaintiff Owen urged that it be done from 1900 to 1903."
Under the Sept 27, 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, it was stipulated that; those Choctaw desiring to remain in Mississippi and become US Citizens within 5 years by signing with Choctaw agent William H Ward within 6 months after the ratification of the Treaty will not lose Choctaw Citizenship, but if they ever remove within said 5 years will lose Choctaw annuities; The Mississippi Choctaw by agreeing to remain in Mississippi, and be issued Choctaw lands, were issued Choctaw Land Certificates promised under Treaty stipulations that after remaining and making improvements on the land, thus would be issued “Fee Simple” Patent, thus allowing the Choctaw land owner to then sell or transfer the land to their heirs. Under the Choctaw Act, of Aug 23, 1842, repealed the original Treaty Act of 1830, of Dancing Rabbit Creek, making provision for the Commission to adjudicate those original Choctaw reserve claims of “One half the original land claim issued in Mississippi, the other half West of Mississippi, after removal”. Even though 2238 original Choctaw claims were adjudicated yet only 143 were actually received. Most Choctaw land claims reserves were never actually adjudicated until Mar 15, 1851, some 26 years after original Treaty promise of 5 years issuances of land patents after ratification of the Treaty. Many Choctaw Land grant patents issued by the Commission never found their original Choctaw land reserves, because of the historical line time between the signing of the original Choctaws reserves and actual issuance of land patents were not until some 50 to 80 years later. Thus, holding true meaning to broken Treaty promises between the United States and a weary trusting Choctaw people Congressionally removed from their aboriginal homelands of Mississippi.

Resource; NARA, National Archives Records Adm, Washington DC;
Sept 27, 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek,
ART. 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.

Under the Sept 27, 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, those Choctaw who removed to the Indian territory, under said Treaty stipulations, before and after the 5 year period under stipulation promises to become US citizens, were destined to face Mississippi Choctaw Denial before the Dawes Commissioners, Bixby, Needles and McKennon, within the 1896-1907, Dawes Commission applications for Choctaw annuities in the Indian Territories. Destined for MCR, “Mississippi Choctaw Rejected”, and unfortunately, destined for 70% “MCR” Mississippi Choctaw Dawes Commission application rejection. AND also destined for one of the greatest Choctaw historical Sept 27, 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, “Trail of Tears” of a Mississippi Choctaw people removed from the aboriginal Choctaw homelands of Mississippi. Secretary of the Interior. [255 U.S. 373, 385] 'No person shall be enrolled who has not heretofore removed to and in good faith settled in the nation in which he claims citizenship: Provided, however, that nothing contained in this act shall be so construed as to militate against any rights or privileges which the Mississippi Choctaws may have under the laws of or the treaties with the United States.' Chapter 517, 30 Stat. 495, 503.
