Chickasaw Electrical Management Co. Llc history

The history of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma began in 1818 when tribal leaders signed the Treaty of Old Town, ceding their lands in western Kentucky and Tennessee.

The subsequent removal Treaty of Franklin of 1830 went unratified by Congress because the United States government could not guarantee a suitable land exchange west of the Mississippi.

By the Treaty of Pontotoc in 1832 Jackson's treaty commissioners agreed to survey and sell the tribe's Mississippi and Alabama homelands, about six million acres, for $3 million.

When Congress failed to ratify this treaty, Chickasaw leaders agreed to confirm their land-for-money exchange by signing the Treaty of Washington in 1834.

In 1837, the Treaty of Doaksville called for the resettlement of the Chickasaws among the Choctaw tribe in Indian Territory.

Chickasaw leaders began to experiment with constitutional government and drew up a document at a general council at Boiling Springs in 1846.

In 1849 the Chickasaw District council set up a Committee of Vigilance to manage the tribe's external affairs.

In 1854 Chickasaw and Choctaw commissioners reached an agreement.

The new Chickasaw Nation emerged in August 1856 at Tishomingo at a convention that ratified a new constitution.

With the eruption of armed sectional conflict, the Chickasaw Nation declared its independence in May 1861 and formally joined the Confederacy in July.

The war formally ended for the Chickasaw and their neighbors at a meeting with federal officials in September 1865 at Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Summoned to Washington in April 1866, the Chickasaw and Choctaw were forced to sign a treaty renewing their compact with the United States government.

In 1895 the Dawes Commission began holding hearings in the Indian Territory to negotiate allotment agreements with the Five Tribes.

Although a joint Chickasaw and Choctaw commission agreed to land allotment to tribe members and to reserve coal and asphalt lands, Chickasaw voters rejected the Atoka Agreement of 1897.

At the Sequoyah Convention, held in Muskogee in August 1905, delegates adopted a constitution and a plan for an Indian state.

Subsequently, Congress adopted the Curtis Act, which embodied the Atoka Agreement, ended tribal sovereignty, abolished tribal courts and enforcement of tribal laws, and scheduled all tribal governments to terminate on March 4, 1906.

After Oklahoma statehood in 1907, the President of the United States appointed the principal officers of the Chickasaw Nation.
