Mushulatubbee

Musholatubbee (* 1770, † 1836 in La Flore, Oklahoma), in the language of the Choctaw: AmoshuliTʊbi (English: To Kill determined, other spellings: Mosholetvbbi, AmoshuliTʊbi, Mushulatubbee and Moshaleh Tubbee ) was the during the violent expulsion from the southeast supreme leader of the Choctaw, a Native American people in the United States of America.

He supported Andrew Jackson during the Creek War. He signed both the Treaty of the Choctaw Trading House on 24 October 1816 as well as the Treaty of Treaty Ground on 18 October 1820. In 1824, the increasing land hunger of the white settlers and the disregard for the sovereign tribal areas for the leaders of the Choctaw, was including Pushmataha, Musholatubee and Apuchunubbee a serious threat to their people. They decided his case to the government in Washington DC personally carry forward. The delegation was led Pushmataha, their goal was to achieve either the expulsion of white settlers from the tribal areas or to receive appropriate financial compensation for the lost territories. Other participants in the group were Talking Warrior, Red Fort, Nittahkachee, Robert Cole and David Folsom, both half Choctaw and Captain Daniel McCurtain, and Major John Pitchlynn. The delegation signed on 26 September 1830 in Washington DC the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek with the Choctaw bartered most of their settlement areas in Mississippi to new areas in the so-called Indian Territory. In the signed under pressure from the American government and on February 24, 1831, ratified treaty the Choctaws ceded 45,000 square kilometers of land to the federal government which they received about 61,000 square kilometers in what is now the state of Oklahoma. The contract, in which the nation gave up their sovereignty, did not have the consent of the people, but the Indian negotiators Greenwood LeFlore, Musholatubbee and Nittucachee saw no other way to get their people at least a residue of the original tribal areas.

Musholatubbee itself was also relocated and died near Le Flore, Oklahoma to the consequences of a smallpox infection.
