As a consideration for these rights and privileges, the Chickasaws agree to pay to the Choctaws $530,000; $30,000 when the Choctaw annuity for 1837 is paid, and the $500,000 to be vested in some safe stock, redeemable in not less than twenty years; the interest to be paid as stipulated.

Equal rights and privileges pertain to both Choctaws and Chickasaws, to settle in whatever district they think proper; Chickasaws eligible to offices in the Choctaw nation, and to vote on the same terms.
