- Description:
- The document discusses a legal dispute over ownership of the bed of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma between the Cherokee Nation, the State of Oklahoma, and the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. The Supreme Court had previously ruled in favor of the Cherokee Nation, but the district court's interpretation of the ruling led to further appeals and disagreements over ownership. The district court ultimately ordered Oklahoma to account for money received from leases and divided it between the Cherokee and Choctaw Nations. Appeals were made by Oklahoma and its lessees, as well as the Choctaw Nation, leading to a reversal of the judgment on the conflicting claims between the Cherokee and Choctaw Nations.
