Introduction
The Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency records are composed of bound volumes, unbound documents and press copies dating from 1869-1933. They cover all major subjects under Indian and government relations, such as agents’ reports, census and enrollment records, allotment, land leases and sales, intertribal and military relations, Indian annuity and per capita payments, church and school records, agency financial and employee records, among others.
Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency: A treaty between the United States and the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, Oct. 28, 1867 (Stat. L., xv, 593) provided for a reservation in what is now Oklahoma for the Southern Cheyenne and Southern Arapaho Indians. In 1869 a temporary agency was established at Camp Supply, Indian Territory with Brinton Darlington in charge as agent. The location of the reservation was altered by Executive Order, Aug. 10, 1869, and in May 1870 the agency was moved to a site five miles northwest of the present town of El Reno. In 1873 a post office was established there called Darlington in memory of the first agent who had died the previous year.
From 1869 through 1874, this agency, called the Upper Arkansas Agency, was under the Central Superintendency, Office of Indian Affairs. In 1875, the name was changed to Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency; this designation has remained unchanged to the present day.
In 1877, several bands of Northern Cheyenne numbering 927 people were brought to Darlington. Another contingent of about 200 reached there in 1878. In 1881 Little Chief’s band was allowed to move to Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota Territory. In Sep. 1883, the last of the Northern Cheyenne wishing to remove to their old home arrived at Pine Ridge Agency. The records of these Northern Cheyennes for the time they were at the southern agency remain in the files of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency.
Although Agent G. D. Williams in his report to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1887 spoke of a Subagency at Cantonment, it was not until Nov. 30, 1902, that the division was officially recognized. Part of the agency affairs came under the supervision of the head of the Cantonment Indian Training School with headquarters at the school three miles northwest of Canton. Another portion was assigned to the Superintendent of Seger Indian Training School located at Colony. The remainder of the agency was under the direction of the Cheyenne and Arapaho School superintendent at the old agency headquarters at Darlington. By Dec. 1909, a further division created the Red Moon Agency located at the Red Moon School at Hammon.
In Mar. 1910, the removal of the Darlington Agency to Caddo Springs was authorized. The move was completed in May 1915 and the name changed to Concho. On Apr. 9, 1917, Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, ordered the consolidation of the Red Moon Agency with the Seger Agency at Colony. The next reorganization occurred in 1927. At that time, Seger Agency was abolished and Cantonment Agency became part of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency in Concho.

History of the Records: Each of the subagencies mentioned above generated and received its own correspondence and created its own records. Following passage of the Congressional Act of Mar. 27, 1934 (H. R. 5631 Public No. 133), these tribal records were placed in the custody of the Oklahoma Historical Society with those from other agencies within the state. When brought to the Historical Society, these records were in various states of order, and it was decided by Dr. Grant Foreman of the Society’s Board of Directors and Mrs. Rella Looney, Archivist (1929-1974) to place them in useable research categories according to subject. This order in many files varied from their original agency filing order which could not be ascertained.
Within each category documents were filed chronologically and the subject categories were placed in file cases or shelved in alphabetical order under each agency. One group of Cheyenne and Arapaho records from the Cantonment agency was brought to the Archives in later years and has not been completely sorted and processed. Of necessity it will be microfilmed separately from the above collection.
The records have proved to have had extensive research value and use to students of Indian culture and history in the past 45 years. Use of the records has been facilitated by an unpublished inventory of the categories within each agencies’ holdings. This includes the name of the agency, the subject category, the inclusive dates, number of pages contained within each group, and location within the archives. In addition, indexing of the records has continued, but is as yet incomplete. In microfilming these documents an attempt has been made to combine related categories, i.e. land allotment, lease and sales. This will not follow the present organization within the Archives, but it is thought that it will be the most useful procedure for research use.

Cantonment Letterpress Book – Volume 3: Dec. 5, 1894-June 27, 1896 o This volume contains letters from Issue Clerk Carroll Briscoe and Clerk in Charge Stephen Janus chiefly to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agent Captain A. E. Woodson concerning the problems of managing the subagency plant and personnel in the course of maintaining schools, distributing agricultural supplies and issuing rations. To issue beef rations to individuals rather than to bands was a plan developed in several of the letters in an effort to break up large camps and undermine the authority of the chiefs. The election of a new set of chiefs was the purpose of a large temporary camp set up in Sep. 1895; the lists of chiefs elected are given in the record. o Pages 1, 15, 25, 34, 64, 67, 72, 76-77, 102-103, 149-150, 182-183, 210, 218, 318, 321, and 323-327 are missing.

Woodson. o There are letters from Cantonment and notices received from Darlington Agency to be forwarded to District Farmers concerning management of the subagency, distributing agricultural and housebuilding supplies and issuing rations. The last mentioned matter continued to be a source of great controversy, many Cheyenne leaders keeping their band members from taking beef rations from the block. The matter of school enrollment also provoked controversy with many Cheyennes refusing to place their children in any school not located within the sub-agency area. o Pages 277, 360, and 384 are missing.

The most important topic he had to deal with was the imminent end of ration issues to able- bodied Indians and with the need to find employment for them to make up for the loss of rations. The most urgent business that he had to address in school affairs was his unpopularity with his staff. o Pages 10, 30, 46, and 230 are missing.
