A sharp distinction is to be drawn between
the Indians in Mississippi and the so-called Mississippi
Choctaw "claimants." The former are few in numbers and
easily ascertainable, while the latter are numerous and
scattered from Bayou Labatre, Alabama on the east to Mesa
City, Arizona on the west. A number of these claimants are
banded together in an organization known as "Society of
Mississippi Choctaws."
