Mr. President. a fullblood Indian in the State of Mississippi is bound to be a Choctaw. He could not be anything else. unless he was an Indian who had moved into the State from somewhere else. and we have had no Indian immigration. The other three tribes went to the territorial reserve west of the river. The Pascagoulas and the Chickasaws and Natchez all went to the west of the river. but in the Dancing Rabbit treaty special -provisions were made with regard to such of the Choctaws as chose to remain in Mississippi. and it is under the provisions of that treaty that this claim has been made.
