Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In determining who are the heirs of a deceased enrolled Creek Indian who, during her lifetime, received the allotment of the use and occupancy of an allotment, which, after her death, was ratified to her heirs by virtue of section 6 of the Original’ Creek Treaty (Act March 1, 1901, c. 676, 31 Stat. 861 ), the laws of descent and distribution of the Creek Nation are to be applied as if the deceased Indian had received title» to her allotment during-her lifetime, and died seised thereof.””
