Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty Site was a Choctaw Indian gathering place that is significant for being the location of the treaty signing that led to the removal of Choctaws from the east to the west of the Mississippi River. This opened a vast area for settlement by Americans of European descent. It was the model for similar treaties with other Indian tribes. It was declared a Mississippi Landmark in 1986[1] and a National Historic Landmark in 1996.[3][4]
