Joseph C. Moore, Chickasaw

The case of Joseph C. Moore et al. v. Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations involved multiple legal proceedings concerning the citizenship status of Moore family descendants within the Chickasaw Nation. Initially granted citizenship by the Chickasaw District Court in 1884, their status was later challenged. Despite favorable rulings from the U.S. Court in 1899, the Citizenship Court ultimately denied their claims in 1904. Subsequent appeals and petitions continued until 1907, when the enrollment of claimants was disapproved.
