Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of hearings before the Committee on Indian Affairs in the House of Representatives regarding H.R. 108, a bill to confer upon the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes certain jurisdiction. The Five Civilized Tribes refer to the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes who were forcibly relocated from their ancestral lands in southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the 19th century. The hearings provide insight into the government's relationship with these tribes and the jurisdictional issues that arose in the early 20th century. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in Native American history and government relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
