	Five Tribes is a term used since the mid-19th century for the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes of east Oklahoma. By 1850 some 60,000 members of these tribes were forced to settle in the Indian Territory under the Removal Act of 1830, which provided that this territory was to be held communally on the condition that the tribes surrendered certain land rights east of the Mississippi River. This five part composition is, I hope, a tribute to them.
