"We devote perhaps undue space
to llMtJRdloKinsrcport of the De-
"jrtBt 6f the Interior for the
settiesaeat of contested rights to
ckicip in the Choctaw Xation.
Biit while these papers arc confined
to Uti particular nation the sub-
ject atier is of general interest
aadisBporiaEce to the Chickasaws.
Creaks aad Cherokccs. Their pe-
emmsry landed and governmental
interests are similar though not
identical and may he affected by
like action towards them in detail.
Tli first inquiry that suggests it-
self 3m regard to the action of the
department in taking into its own
hd the final settlement of the
status of a contested claimant to
citaenship in the Choctaw Nation.
is the authority under which it is
doae whether raider usage or stat
ute ot the United States? And
agaia who are Choctaws under the
laws ef the United States and their
treaties with the Choctaw Nation ?
ITiere has hecn no one question
perhaps since the war that so
'"plaialy displays an evasion of duty
and the evil effects of a do-nothing
poucy in crcaung ana multiplying
complications with people in the
Indian Territory and in imposing
upon their rights of property and
protection as this very question of
Indian citizenship. And this re-
mark is pertinent whether applied
to white red or black; but not to
the seme extent to the officials of
the Department now in Washing-
ton or in the Territory as to some
of their predecessor. If the pur-
pose hadbeen to rake the land to
find claimants to citizenship in the
Territory and encourage fraudu-
lent practices in some cases in con-
nection with them no more ingeni-
ous and successful scheme could
have been devised than thatadopt-
.cd. Long as the Councils of these
Nations or their courts or their
i-ommlssioncrs recognized a claim
doubtless in some cases corruptly
gotten up it was all right and the
Department had nothing to say.
Tlut reject them then it comes in
- and tells the applicants if they will
make out a prima facte case they
shall not be removed from the
Territory or interrupted until the
case is disposed of there.
And thus claimants become quar-
tered upon the Indians not amen-
able in some cases to their laws
because they are not recognized as
members of the Nation and not
amenable in some cases to U. S.
law because they claim to bo In
dians.
Before the var the recognized
value of an '-Thjun" was below
that of the nigger because it was
"agin nis natur" cither to toil or
to obey. These two facts elevated
his character but did not give
equality before the law with 'he
whites. The sentiment thus en-
gendered extended to a consider-
able degree to the ignorant and to
the presumptuous classes of soci-
ity an'd a trace of Indian blood
was often concealed or denied. It
poss?ssed no pecuniary value. But
a. change has taken place. The
war wiped out these distinctions
before the law and to a great ex-
tent many cherished prejudices.
The population of tlie country has
increased and expanded and won-
derful cliangcs have been produced.
Indian grass Indian lands Indian
timber. Indian exemption from
taxes Indian free schools and In-
dian money are wonderfully invit-
ing. They are not to be despised.
They possess solid value. They
are-worth looking after and worth
grasping by fair means if praclica-
blcbutif notby any-or all means.
Indian blood is a positive quality
a valuable factor. Hence the crop
of Indians and persons claiming to
1k Indians and those asserting In-
dian rights is very remarkable.
The great Yankee Nation alone
surpasses this little community in
its universality.
Ii tlie claimants make out a good
case all right. If not not fortified
by exparte affidavits of the oldest
inhabitants of a remote antiquity
and remote section and put in
shape by lawyers engaged in citi-
zenship brokerage it is not a diffi-
cult matter to make a prima facie
case and that is seemingly the end
of it as heretofore stated.
It mellows by age.improvemcnts
are made these persons- become
.fixtures and government officials
practically if not designedly aid
and abet in these violations of law.
All such questions ought to be set-
tled. Their settlement rightfully
belong to the Indians themselves.
But if the Department will not al-
low it then it is the duty of the
;opartiiioiit to revise all procccd-
jnqs.in those cases sec that no im-
proper claimant js admitted and
that no legal one is excluded.
hpaccidocsnot allow us to show
in a few cases among the Ghcro-
1
kees alone as the outgrowth of the
foregoing statements- midrc
serve them for a future number.

MarchMth. 13S4.
To the Honorable the Secretary of
incintcnor:
Sik Referring to that portion of
Uincc itcport dated ct. lUtli18S5
which relates to an act passed by
the Choctaw Council with reference
to the question of citizenship and
intruders within the Nation! have
the honor to state that I am in re-
ceipt of a communication from the
Choctaw Delegation dated Jan. 23
1SS4 in which they discuss the
Saestion of disputed citizenship
aim that the Choctaws have suf-
ficiently provided for the determi-
nation of disputed claims and ask
that the Choctaw Nation be except-
ed from any legislation by Con-
gress on the subject and that the
present practice of this office be
modified so as to conform to tlie
Choctaw law.
The action of this office in ques-
tions of disputed citizenship is
based upon office letter to Agent
Tufits dated July 20th 1SSO in
which he was instructed as follows:
"In all cases presented to you
by the Cherokee authorities for re-
moval wherein the parties n&mcd
claim citizenship cither by blood
through father or mother or by
virtue of adoption according to the
laws and customs of the Chcro-
kees after making proper investi-
gationif you are satisfied that they
have pnma facie a just claim to
citizenship you will permit such
persons to remain in the Territory
to await final action in their cases
which will hereafter be determined
undersuch rules as may be adopted
by- the Department." "
With regard to this ruling tlie
Delegation remark : "If there had
been a condition coupled with that
rule requiring all such persons to
appear before the proper tribunal
at its next subsequent session
thereto and proceed in accordance
with the law it would have had
the effect to stop all the complaints;
certainly so since the passage' of
tlie act of October 21st 1S32.
They also claim that "the unin-
tentional effect" of the rule "is the
encouragement of fraud and a nul-
lification of Choctaw law. "Vc think
it is due ps that the United States
assist us in making our laws oper-
ative rather than do that which
makes them inoperative."
These instructions were intended
to be tctnnorarv in their effect.
leaving the parties who established
ajinmafactc right to remain un-
disturbed until their cases could be
"determined under such rules as
may be adopted bv the Uonart
mcnL"
No rules for finally determining
these cases have been adopted and
the parties have taken no steps to
finally establish their claims to cit
izenship.
inc method of determining the
Suestion of disputed citizenship
nallv and conrlusivelv. as pro
vided forby the Choctaw lawsecms
to be proper and just to all parties
with the modification surruestcd in
Office Report of Feb. l!)th 1SS8
i. e. that the decision ot the agent
should be subject to revision by tlie
Department.
The act of the Choctaw Council
of Oct. 19th 1S7G provides that
"Any person who is not now rec
ognized as a citizen of the Nation
or ot Choctaw descent shall peti
tion to the General Council during
tne regular session thereof for the
rights and privileges of citizenship
of the Choctaw Nation. Such pe
titioner shall prove his or her
blood or other means by which
they claim citizenship by not less
than two good and respectable
Choctaws disinterested persrons
before a proper committee or the
chairman thereof."' (Laws of Choc-
taw Nation of 1S7G and 1877 p.2S).
The act of October 21 1SS2. pro-
vides thafaftcran applicant for cit-
izenship has been refused tlie ri-ht
he claimed and feels aggrieved by
such refusal such applicant may
have a rcn earing of his case before
the United States Indian Agent
provided the agent notify the Prin
cipal Chief of the time and place of
all such rehcanngs so that tlie
Choctaws may be represented by
an attorney and tlie Choctaws agree
to abide by the decision of the
agent."
As to the requirement of the for-
mer law that the witnesses shall
be good and respectable Choctaws
the delegates remark that the Choc-
taws ought certainly to know and
do know more about their own
people ihan outsiders. rWc arc
only able by our own methods to
protect ourselves against fraud and
corruption. We liavc no means of
making any one else tel! ihe truth
or oi punisning them for false
swearing."
But if the act of TS7G is open to
objection because the evidence is
confined to that given by native
Choctaws the act of 1SS2 by al-
lowing appeals to the agent re-
moves this objection as tlie agent
can admit such evidence as he
deems proper.
I have the honor to recommend
that Agent Tuffs he instructed to
notify all disputed claimants to
citizenship in tlie Choctaw Nation
to appear at the next sea on of the
proper tribunal and submit their
claims for adjudication as provided
bv tlie Choctaw laws ; that failing
w do so they will be deemed in-
truders and removed from the Ter-
ritory ; and that any party-feeling
aggrieved bj- tlie decision of the
Choctaw tribunal will be allowed
thirty days in which to appeal to
the Agent at the expiration of that
time to be deemed an intruder if
no appeal be takon.
That the Agent bo directed to
hear all cases of appeal from the
decision of the Choctaw authori
ties giving proper notice to the
Principal Chief of the time and
place of hearing.rcceiving ami con-
sidering such proper ovidence
without distinction as to the rare
of witnesses as may be presented.
And that ho also be directed to
submit all eases of appeal.with the
evidonee and his findings theroen

The Commissioner of Indian AffairK
Sin I have considered your re-
port of the 1-lth instant" oh the
question of citizenship and intrud-
ers within thp Choctaw Nation in
which vou discuss the plan pro
vided by the laws of said Nation of
Oct. 1'JUi ISiO and Oct. 21stlSS2
for determining those questions
which you state seem ro be proper
and just to all parties with the
modification suggested in vour re-
port of Feb. 19th 1SS3 i.'c. that
the decision of the Agent should be
subject to revision by the Depart-
ment. I concur in your recommendation
on the subjoct. viz.: "that Agent
Tnffts bo instructed to notify all
disputed claimants to citizenship in
the Clioctaw Nation to appear at
tlie next session of tlie proper tri-
bunal and submit their claims for
adjudication as provided by the
Choctaw laws; that failing to do so
they will be deemed intruders and
removed from the Territory ; and
that any party feeling aggrieved by
the decision of the Clioctaw tribu-
nal will be allowed thirty days in
which to appeal to the Agent at
the expiration of that time to be
deemed ai. intruder if no appeal
be taken.
That the Agent be directed to
hear all cases of appeal from the
decision of tlie Clioctaw authori-
ties giving proper notice to the
Principal Chief of the time and
place of hearing receiving and con-
sidering such proper evidence
without distinction as to the race
of witnesses as may be presented.
And that he also" be directed to
submit all cases of appeal with the
evidence and his findings thereon
to this office for final determination
by the Department.
All persons finally adjudged to
be intruders to be allowed a rea-
sonable time in which to dispose
of their improvements and prop-
erty before being removed."
In order the more carefully to
guard all interests conccrned.'it is
provided that no such claimant to
citizenship shall be compelled to
appear oetorc the Choctaw Council
and submit such claim for adjudi-
cation unless he shall have been
served with the notice abovo re-
auired at least sixty days prior to
le first day of tlie session of tlie
Council before which ho is sum-
moned to appear.
Tlie enclosure of your letter is
herewith returned.
