- Description:
- This text discusses a legal case involving ownership of the bed of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma. The Cherokee Nation, the State of Oklahoma, and the Choctaw Nation and Chickasaw Nation are involved in the dispute. The district court ruled in favor of the Cherokee Nation, but the appeals court determined that they do not have jurisdiction over the dispute between the Cherokee Nation and the Choctaw Nation, leading to a reversal of part of the judgment.
