The case of Terry Thompson Stubblefield et al. concerns a claim for Choctaw Nation citizenship, initially approved by the Choctaw council in 1896 but later rejected by the Dawes Commission in 1902 due to nonresidency. Stubblefield, born in Mississippi around 1861, moved to the Choctaw Nation as a child with her father, Arthur F. Thompson. Though she lived there until her marriage, she moved to Texas by 1878. Despite retaining property in the Choctaw Nation and her family’s enrollment, her claim was denied due to prolonged absence. Legal arguments emphasized her tribal ties and intent to return.
