Muskogee and northeastern Oklahoma, including the counties of Muskogee, McIntosh, Wagoner, Cherokee, Sequoyah, Adair, Delaware, Mayes, Rogers, Washington, Nowata, Craig, and Ottawa . agents directly to the individual members of the tribe. The Curtis bill also included and approved the agreement, which the Dawes Commission had finally persuaded the Choctawsand Chickasaws to enter into, providing for the individual allot-ment of their lands. Although the agreement between the Dawes Commission andthe Creek Nation, providing for the allotment of Creek lands andthe winding up of all the tribal affairs of the Creeks, was not ap-proved until March 1, 1901, and the Cherokee agreement, July 1, 1902, yet the passage of the Curtis act was a signal for everybodyto get busy.

Tarns Bixby was appointed acting chairman, and the in-fluence of his indefatigable energy was soon manifested through-out all branches of the commissions work.

In addition to examining and passing upon thelegal status of the 101, 505 Indian citizens, who were found to belegally entitled to share in the tribal lands and funds, the commis-sion was compelled to investigate and decide upon the claims ofthousands of other applicants who were rejected.
