Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship in the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Indian Affairs, House of Representatives on H. R. 15649 Then follows a description of the land. The words appearing in this article, in fee simple to them and their descendants, to inure to them while they shall exist as a nation and live on it, were inserted, as the journal record of the negotiations which resulted in this treaty shows, at the instance of the Indians, who refused to sign the treaty unless the conveyance was made in fee simple and the United States absolutely and irrevocably passed all its right, title, and interest in and to the lands to the Indians, which property was to be exclusively to the use of those persons who comprised the Choctaw Nation and their descendants and no other person was to ever share in the same, and the United States guaranteed that the terms of the treaty should be strictly adhered to by the Federal Government. In order that we may frame an issue before the committee I now ask Mr. \vard, who is present and representing the Department, whether the Department denies that the title to this property was acquired under and by virtue of the second article of the treaty of 1830, which I have just read. Mr. Ward. 'e deny that the grant to the Choctaws was made under the treaty of 1830 and insist that the conveyance was made under the treaty of 1820. Mr. Ballinger. Mr. Chairman, I am glad to know the exact con tention of the Department upon this question, for it is the first time that the Department or any attorney representing these nations has ever disputed our contention that the conveyances was made under and pursuant to the second article of the treaty of 1830.
