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.

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
McDougal v. McKay, ante, p. 372, followed to the effect that an allotment made to a full blooded Creek Indian is, for purposes of descent and distribution, to be considered, not as a new acquisition, but as an ancestral estate and passes as such under Chapter 49 of Mansfield’s Digest of the Laws of Arkansas.
The same ruling also applies to an allotment of a full-blooded Chickasaw Indian.
3 Okl. 37 and 101 affirmed.
The facts, which are similar to those involved in the preceding case, are stated in the opinion.
