Greenwood LeFlore was a Indian of the Choctaw tribe. He was elected chief of the entire Choctaw tribe shortly after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. He received one thousand acres (4 km²) of land for his part in the negotiations on the treaty. Some of the Choctaws felt Leflore did them wrong because he was one of the leading chiefs involved in the treaty. Leflore was a Mississippi representative and senator. Greenwood and Leflore County are named after him.
