Mary Elizabeth Martin Decision Rendered
On March 30, 1905, the Secretary of the Interior addressed the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes regarding the application of Mary Elizabeth Martin for enrollment as a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. The application, initially denied by the Commission in 1896 and again in 1903, was revisited following recommendations and legal opinions suggesting further investigation. The key issue was whether Martin’s parents, who were white intermarried citizens, were married to their former Indian spouses in accordance with tribal laws, which would impact Martin’s eligibility for enrollment. The Assistant Attorney-General’s opinion highlighted that if her parents were legally married under tribal law, Martin was entitled to citizenship. Consequently, the case was returned to the Commission for further investigation and adjudication based on additional evidence.
