[CONCLUDED SEPTEMBER 27, 28, 1830-RATIFIED* FEBRUARY 24, 1831. ] A treaty of perpetual friendship, cession and limits entered into by John H. Eaton and John Coffee, for and in behalf of the Government of the United States, and the mingoes, chiefs, captains, and warriors of the Choctaw nation, begun and held at Dancing Rabbit creek, on the fifteenth of September, in the year eighteen hundred and thirty. Whereas, the General Assembly of the State of Mississippi has extended the laws of said State to persons and property within the chartered limits of the same, and the President of the United States has said that he cannot protect the Choctaw people from the operation of these laws: Now, therefore, that the Choctaws may live under their own laws in peace with the United States and the State of Mississippi, they have determined to sell their lands east of the Mississippi, and have accordingly agreed to the following articles of treaty : ART. 1. Perpetual peace and friendship is pledged and agreed upon by and between the United States and the mingoes, chiefs, and warriors of the Choctaw nation of red people; and that this may be considered the treaty existing between the parties, all other treaties heretofore existing and inconsistent with the provisions of this are hereby declared null and void. ART. 2. The United States under a grant specially to be made by the President of the U S. shall cause to be conveyed to the Choctaw nation a tract of country west of the Mississippi river, in fee simple to them and their descendants, to inure to them while they shall exist as a nation and live on it: Beginning near fort Smith where the Arkansas boundary crosses the Arkansas river, running thence to the source of the Canadian fork, if in the limits of the United States, or to those limits; thence due south to Red river, and down Red river to the west boundary of the territory of Arkansas; thence north along that line to the beginning. The boundary of the same to be agreeably to the treaty made and concluded at Washington City, in the year 1825. The grant to be executed so soon as the present treaty shall be ratified. ART. 3. In consideration of the provisions contained in the several articles of this treaty, the Choctaw nation of Indians consent and hereby cede to the United States, the entire country they own and possess, east of the Mississippi river; and they agree to remove beyond the Mississippi river, early as practicable, and will so arrange their removal, that as many as possible of their people, not exceeding one half of the whole number, shall depart during the falls of 1831 and 1832; the residue to follow "With the exception of the preamble." * |
