The period between 1830 and 1846 was the most corrupt period in the history of the Choctaws. One Indian who did not suffer was Greenwood Leflore. He was elected chief of the entire Choctaw tribe shortly after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. He received one thousand acres of land for his part in the negotiations on the treaty. Some of the Choctaws felt Leflore did them wrong because he was one of the leading chiefs involved in the treaty. He also signed it. Leflore was a Mississippi representative and senator. He also had a city and county named for him.
