The Chickasaw are the smallest group of the Firve Civilized Tribes. Before removing to Indian Territory the tribe sent (1830) a group to inspect the proposed relocation land. The group rejected the proposed relocation which voided the treaty and removal. this same process reoccured in 1832, 1835 and 1836. Finally in 1837 the Chickasaw leadsers met with the Choctaw leaders near Fort Towson in Indian Territory and agreed to pay the Choctaw for the part of the Choctaws' region in southern Indian Territory. | |||
