Publisher's Synopsis
""Citizenship In The Choctaw And Chickasaw Nation"" is a collection of hearings conducted by a subcommittee of the Committee on Indian Affairs in the House of Representatives in 1908. The hearings were held to discuss H.R. 15649, a bill that proposed to grant full citizenship rights to members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. The book provides a detailed account of the discussions and arguments presented during the hearings, including the perspectives of both supporters and opponents of the bill. The subcommittee heard testimony from various individuals, including tribal leaders, legal experts, and government officials, and considered the potential impacts of granting citizenship on the tribal nations and their members. This book serves as a valuable historical record of the efforts to extend citizenship rights to Native American tribes in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
