SITN-Treaty Supremacy Notice & Federal Preemption Directive.

---

 The Choctaw Scrip Act of 1842 authorized the issuance of land scrip to eligible Choctaw individuals in exchange for ceded treaty lands. These records document Indigenous land rights, allotments, and lawful title transfers tied to ancestral families. SITN preserves these records as evidence of Indigenous land tenure and treaty-based property rights.

 Federal scrip statutes established mechanisms by which Indigenous individuals could receive land entitlements or compensation under treaty and statutory authority. These instruments are preserved within SITN archives as historical documentation of Indigenous land rights, dispossession mechanisms, and federal obligations.

The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek formalized land cessions while recognizing certain Choctaw families’ rights to remain on ancestral lands under specific conditions. SITN maintains treaty references and related records to document how these provisions were implemented, ignored, or administratively altered over time. 

Article VI of the U.S. Constitution establishes treaties as the supreme law of the land. This principle affirms that ratified treaties with Indigenous nations carry binding legal authority. SITN references the Supremacy Clause to contextualize the legal standing of Indigenous treaties within federal law. 

(Articles 3, 5, 26, 32) UNDRIP affirms Indigenous peoples’ rights to self-determination, governance, land, territory, and cultural preservation. SITN maintains these international references as contextual frameworks supporting Indigenous continuity, identity, and protection from forced assimilation.

The Indian Treaty Series documents formal agreements between Indigenous nations and the United States government. SITN preserves references to these treaties as historical records demonstrating recognized Indigenous political status, land relationships, and federal obligations. 

Various federal statutes, policies, and court decisions recognize Indigenous rights related to land, identity, and self-governance. SITN maintains these references as part of its historical and legal archive to document the evolving treatment of Indigenous peoples under U.S. law. 

Federal trust obligations arose from treaties, land patents, and statutory frameworks governing Indigenous lands. SITN preserves documentation demonstrating how these trust relationships affected Indigenous families and land stewardship responsibilities over time. g.

Pre-removal treaties and homestead provisions recognized Indigenous land occupancy and use prior to forced displacement. SITN maintains these records to document lawful Indigenous land relationships before removal, reclassification, and dispossession. 

Certain treaties recognized Indigenous identity, lineage, and inheritance rights tied to land and political status. SITN preserves treaty references demonstrating how identity rights were acknowledged historically and later undermined through administrative reclassification. 

The SITN Treaty Framework consolidates historical treaty references, federal records, and international principles relevant to the Nation’s documented lineage and continuity.
