General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Gannon v. Johnson, 243 U.S. 108 (1917)
Gannon v. Johnson No. 131 Argued December 2, 1916 Decided March 6, 1917 243 U.S. 108
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
Under the Choctaw-Chickasaw supplemental agreement of July 1, 1902, §§ 11, 12, 15 and 16, 32 Stat. 641, surplus lands, selected by a member of the Chickasaw Tribe, become alienable only with the expiration of the respective periods after patent fixed in § 16; these restrictions accompany the land when it passes to a tribal member by inheritance, and a conveyance by him while the periods are running is void. Mullen v. United States, 224 U.S. 48, distinguished.
The Act of April 26, 1906, 34 Stat. 137, in providing that conveyances of allotments made after selection should not be declared invalid solely because made prior to patent, was not intended to validate deeds made before removal of restrictions on alienation; on the contrary, it expressly declare them null and void.
40 Okl. 695 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
