- Greenwood "Green" McCurtain (November 28, 1848 – December 27, 1910) was a tribal administrator and Principal Chief of the Choctaw Republic (1896–1900 and 1902–1906), serving a total of four elected two-year terms. He was the third of his brothers to be elected as chief. (His older brothers Jackson Frazier McCurtain and Edmund McCurtain had previously been elected as chief, serving a total of three terms.) He was a Republican in the late 19th century, leaning toward allotment and assimilation when the nation was under pressure by the United States government, as he believed the Choctaw needed to negotiate to secure their best outcome prior to annexation. After 1906 and dissolution of tribal governments under the Dawes Act prior to Oklahoma achieving statehood, and the annexation of the Choctaw Republic by the United States, McCurtain was appointed as chief by the United States government. He served in that capacity until 1910 and his death in office. He was the last freely-elected Chief of the Choctaws until 1971. Green McCurtain represented his tribe as a delegate at the Sequoyah Constitutional Convention. This was an effort by American Indian nations in Indian Territory to create an Indian-controlled state in what is now Oklahoma. They were not successful in getting Congressional support for this proposal. European Americans, who had established considerable presence in the Oklahoma Territory, had lobbied strongly for the entire area to be admitted as a regular state. (en)
- Greenwood "Green" McCurtain, född 28 november 1848 i Skullyville i Indianterritoriet (i nuvarande Oklahoma), död 27 december 1910 i Kinta i Oklahoma, var en amerikansk choctawhövding. McCurtain valdes till hövding för choctawerna för perioderna 1896–1900 och 1902–1906. Stamstyret i sin gamla form upphörde 1906 och McCurtains efterträdare fick inte tillträda ämbetet 1906. I stället fortsatte McCurtain som hövding med stöd från de amerikanska myndigheterna. På det sättet tjänstgjorde han som hövding fram till sin död. Orten Panther i Indianterritoriet fick namnet McCurtain 1902 för att hedra hövdingen. Green McCurtain var den tredje valda choctawhövdingen som kom från samma familj. När McCurtain County bildades av en del av det gamla Indianterritoriet 1907, fick countyt i den nya delstaten Oklahoma sitt namn efter familjen. (sv)
