United States. President (1841-1845 : Tyler)

Among the articles of the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, which provided for the removal of the Choctaw Nation from Mississippi to lands west of the Mississippi River, was the provision of land reservations for members of the tribe who wished to remain in the state. About 5,000 Choctaws stayed in Mississippi and received allotments as stipulated by the treaty.
