 | | This movement to extinguish tribal rights of the Five Civilized Tribes, who had been maintaining a series of independent governments since their removal to Oklahoma during the first half of the nineteenth century, was not a new policy. | | | It was cited that in one tribe there were fifty-three murders in one month and twenty-four days with not one murderer punished. | | | Resolutions were drawn up expressing the sentiment of the meeting as being against any action, and the Commission expressed themselves as being thoroughly convinced that the entire session had been under the control of the political leaders and the landholders of the different tribes. |

| | Within the Seminole Nation, Freedmen Leader Sylvia Davis is leading the forerunning call to action, as her elderly father was denied even paltry Seminole Nations Funds to repair his floor, which he had fallen through because of rotten antique flooring. | | | A great number of Indian Freedmen lost out on inherited Freedmen Allotments because of the Treaty breaking “Blood Quantum” requirements of Indian Citizenship and were refused ownership of their ancestor’s allotments because of low or absent blood quantum, and because of the twisted tangle of laws of descent. | | | Rather, Indian Freedmen Repudiate the position of outdated Racist Ideology of Discrimination based on Ethnic Origin and Previous Condition of Servitude, which has been Abolished and Made Illegal by the United States Government. |
