Allotted tribes, etc. ..................... 242 Index ............................. .... 244 ii INTRODUCTION It is now six years since I started to satisfy my interest in Native American research and record- making for them as a people. While I have written extensively in the white man's way of record- making, my greatest satisfaction has come in the three volumes that have now been written about our Native Americans. My approach to this subject has been a general one and not in any way specific in details. I have tried to identify Native American records, what they contain by way of information, and where they are found today. The individual or class instructor will need to take it from there. The building of a personal, or a tribal genealogy and history, will need to be compiled or written as a result of examining a number of record sources, found possibly in several different archives. No one source, or record, will supply complete information about the individual or the tribe. Original records will supply the best and the most authentic information. If you do not have a copy of the first two volumes, let me repeat here some of the information contained in them. Volume one has a detailed explanation of Native American records; reference is made to Indian Treaties, the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma, and the main and possibly the most important part of the book is the listing of the Indian census rolls, 1885-1940. (Repeated in volume three by tribe rather than by agency as in volume one.) In the appendix of volume one is found also the information needed to correspond with various states to secure information about births, marriages, and deaths. For further correspondence there is a listing of several pages of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its office and tribal headquarters. Volume two is filled with helpful research information. In volume two, a survey was made of over two hundred museums, etc., to see what information they had about Native Americans, but the main part of volume two is the index to the Federal census of 1900 and a listing of tribes and their location by state and county as well as the microfilm number of the Genealogical Society of Utah with the page number. In this volume also is found information about Canadian Indian records. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is the responsible government agency for many of the records of interest to Native Americans. This agency, together with the National Archives and its branches, has the great bulk of records referred to in these three volumes. I alone am responsible for the format and presentation of these records for research. It is with pleasure that I recall my visits to the Federal Archives Records Centers and especially the tribal headquarters in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, and California. To our Native Americans, all I can say is that I have tried to help you in the best way that I can. I can do no more; it is now up to you. I have the greatest possible respect and admiration for you and your people and your desire to know where you came from. E. Kay Kirkham, May 1985 iii A=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHAPTER 1 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Before going into detailed instructions on record-making, let me list a few of the definitions most commonly used in American genealogy. These definitions are given that you might understand their meaning when used in the text. Allotment -- A share or portion (usually of land) prescribed by law or by a treaty. Ancestor -- One from whom a person is descended, male or female. Annuity -- A sum of money paid at regular intervals, by quarter or semi-annually. A payment specified by law in compliance with a treaty. Archives -- A general term indicating a repository of public records, official or otherwise. Atlas -- A book containing an assortment or collection of maps, with or without an index to the place-names mentioned in the book. Bibliography -- A list of the writings upon a particular subject, possibly arranged by author, time period, etc. B.L.W. -- Bounty Land Warrant -- A bonus given because of a service rendered to a sovereign power or government. In the United States, two in particular, 1850 and 1855. Branch Library -- As a general rule, all large public libraries extending their services into branches which offer service of or through the main library. Census -- One of many government records taken at different time intervals for some definite purpose. An enumeration or counting of the people in a given area, requiring a variety of information to be given by the head of the household or an individual. A census may be by county, state, or federal. Certificate -- A document containing a statement as to a fact. In genealogical research be sure to note the date, place, and person named. Date -- The time at which an event takes place, i.e., the day, month, or year ... sometimes preceded by the word "about." D.D.S. -- Letters indicating a reference to the so-called Dewey Decimal System of cataloging information used in a library. English Name -- A description of one of the columns as found in the records of the U.S. Government and the Federal Archive Records Centers. Family Record -- Plain and simple, a record of one family, one husband and his spouse, or a spouse with one husband with a separate record for each marriage on the family record form. F.A.R.C. -- Federal Archives Record Center. Finding Aid -- A genealogical compilation assisting in finding information of one kind or another, i.e., a gazetteer, map, directory, etc. G.S.U. -- Genealogical Society of Utah, 50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah. Indian Name -- A description of one of the columns found in federal census records, usually found in connection with the "English Name" of the person enumerated. L.C. -- Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Map -- A graphic representation of one part of the earth's surface, usually flat, made for one or more purposes, i.e., a road map, rainfall map, etc. Microfiche -- A thin sheet of film on which the images of records are placed in rows. Microfilm -- A strip of film having a photographic record on a scale of high reduction. It can be printed for original records and requires only a so-called reader to be able to read the film. Muster Roll -- A register of the officers and men in a military unit at a given time. N.A. -- National Archives, Washington, D.C. 20408 1 2 "Notes" -- When in the course of finding information about an ancestor and you wish to keep it, write. it down. Such references are called and referred to as "notes." Pedigree -- A chart, using lines or brackets, that indicates the line of ancestry of a person or persons. Such a pedigree extends from the present into the past. A so-called "posterity chart" is just the opposite showing descendants from an individual or a marriage. Progenitor -- An ancestor in the direct line of ascent, i.e., a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, etc. Pension -- (Usually) A fixed sum paid to a veteran (serviceman) of a war as a bonus to apply over a period of time. Place -- In genealogical research a place refers to a small area, a village, town, county, etc. A good reference would state the county and state within which a small locality could be found. Reference -- One source of information that refers to another, i.e., a citation. Relative -- A person connected with another, usually by blood. It is a term often used loosely, but normally includes progenitors and their descendants. Service Record -- A specific listing of entry into and out of military service. A basic requirement to receive a military pension. Sibling -- One or more persons having the same parent or parents, mother and father. Spouse -- A married person, man or woman. HOW DO I GET STARTED? The one and only place to get started is with yourself. Can you prove that you were born? Can you prove who you are? In looking through your family records, do you find certificates of birth or death? Will you ask your family to help you find anything at all that says something about your parents, brothers, and sisters? A certificate or whatever else you have found in your family information will name a person or persons and say something about them: a birth date? a former residence? a marriage date and place? Anything at all that says something about somebody is to be placed aside and we will talk later on about how this information is to be used and how it can be made part of your record.

  • All Our Relations
    Praise for All Our Relations “A brilliant, gripping narrative ... I urge that everyone read [All Our Relations] ... which describes the ravages of corporations and government activity on the reservations of our first natives. This is a beautifully written book.... As Winona LaDuke describes, in moving and often beautiful prose, [these] misdeeds are not distant history but are ongoing degradation of the cherished lands of Native Americans.” —Ralph Nader “As Winona LaDuke’s All Our Relations shows, a vital Native American environmentalism is linking indigenous peoples throughout North America and Hawaii in the fight to protect and restore their health, culture, and the ecosystems on their lands. LaDuke herself is a member of the Anishinaabeg nation and was Ralph Nader’s Green Party running mate in 1996. These Native American activists take inspiration from their forebears’ responsible treatment of natural systems, based on a reverence for the interconnectedness of all life forms.” —The Nation “In this thoroughly researched and convincingly written analysis of Native American culture ... LaDuke demonstrates the manners in which native peoples face a constant barrage of attacks that threaten their very existence.” —Choice “[LaDuke presents] strong voices of old, old cultures bravely trying to make sense of an Earth in chaos.” —Whole Earth “With a good ear and sharp eye, LaDuke introduces us to Native activists and records gross environmental abuse and creative resistence. By placing people in the center of the industrial soup, LaDuke tells a story that has not been told before in this way.” —Radcliffe Quarterly “A rare perspective on Native history and culture.” —Sister to Sister “LaDuke unabashedly confronts spiritual and political grassroots missions with a tenacity that, as she explains, springs up from devotion to the land.” —City Pages “A thoughtful, candid, in-depth account of Native resistance to environmental and cultural degradation ..

INTRODUCTION This article examines the path, or trajectory,1 of Indian country in California. More precisely, it explores the origin and historical development over the last three centuries of a legal principle and practice under which a particular, protected status has been extended to land areas belonging to and occupied by indigenous peoples in what is now California. The examination shows that ever since the Spanish first established a continuing presence in California in 1769, the governing colonial regime has accorded Indian lands such status.

  • Missions of the Camino Real: Timucua and the Colonial System of Spanish Florida
    Missions of the Camino Real: Timucua and the Colonial System of Spanish Florida John E. Worth Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta Paper presented at the annual conference of the American Historical Association, Seattle, January 8-11, 1998. 1 Prior to European contact during the 16th century, the interior of present-day northern peninsular Florida and deep southeastern Georgia was home to a handful of autonomous aboriginal chiefdoms within the broad and internally diverse linguistic and cultural grouping known by modern researchers as the Timucuan Indians. By last quarter of the 17th century, however, aboriginal populations in this same region either had been reduced to a chain of small mission towns along the primary road through the Spanish colonial administrative district known as the Timucua province, or had aggregated as fugitives in several remote areas beyond effective Spanish control. When repeated English-sponsored raids forced the final retreat of Spanish- allied Indians during the first decade of the 18th-century, the human remnants of these interior Timucuan chiefdoms became neighbors of the huddled Spanish community at St. Augustine, and ultimately resettled in Cuba as members of the late 18th-century Spanish colonial world. The process by which the initial stages of this massive transformation occurred is known broadly as missionization, and has been the subject of considerable research not only in the southeastern United States, but also across the European colonial world of the modern (post- 1492) era.
