Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty

The Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty, signed in 1830, was an agreement between the United States and the Choctaw Nation. It resulted in the Choctaw selling their land in Mississippi and relocating west of the Mississippi River, mainly to present-day Oklahoma. The treaty aimed to open up land for American settlers and establish peaceful relations, but it also led to the forced removal and suffering of the Choctaw people. This was one of the early Indian Removal Act agreements, marking a significant and often painful moment in Native American history.
