Episode 32 An Interesting Community of Choctaw Freedmen

from The Freedmen Files

While browsing through Dawes Cards, an interesting community of seventeen Choctaw Freedmen appeared on a series of cards. They were interesting because they did not reside in the Choctaw Nation, and in an unlikely place. Years later they had resettled in Choctaw County Oklahoma, well into the 20th century. Why did they live outside the nation?  Do they still have ties where they were during the years of the Dawes Commission? Are they your ancestors?
