Volume 2 in the American Indian Law and Policy SeriesThe Choctaws
in Oklahoma begins with the Choctaws' removal from Mississippi to
Indian Territory in the 1830s and then traces the history of the
tribe's subsequent efforts to retain and expand its rights and to
reassert tribal sovereignty in the late twentieth century. As Clara
Sue Kidwell tells it, the Choctaws' story illuminates a key point
in contemporary scholarship on the history of American Indians:
that they were not passive victims of colonization and did not
assimilate quietly into American society. Adapting to the very
structures imposed on them by their colonizers, tribal politicians
quickly learned to use the rhetoric of dependency on the
government, but they also demanded justice in the form of
fulfillment of their treaty rights. Adroitly negotiating with the
United States, the Choctaws have created the Choctaw Nation that
exists today.
