National
Archives Information Locator (NAIL) The National Archives is making great strides in digitizing some of
the information it has in its collection. While it is unreasonable to
think that all of the paper collections housed within the Archives are
available online, there has been some progress made to assist researchers
in locating information. One of these tools is NAIL—the National Archives
Information Locator.

Dawes Commission Index, 1896 This is an index to over 14,000 records of
individuals in the Five Civilized Tribes that applied for citizenship
under the Act of 1896. The Five Civilized Tribes include the Cherokee,
Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and the Seminole. Each record includes the
individual's name tribe, and case number. This compilation, in effect an
Indian census, was also used as the basis for the allotment of tribal
lands to individual Indians. (Subscribers Only)

Dawes Commission Index, 1898-1914 Commonly called the Commission to the Five
Civilized Tribes, the Dawes Commission was appointed by President Grover
Cleveland in 1893. In return for abolishing their tribal governments and
recognizing state and federal laws, tribe members of the Five Civilized
Tribes - the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole - were given
a share of common property. This database indexes the original
applications for tribal enrollments under the act of June 28, 1898. It
also indexes documents such as birth and death affidavits, marriage
licenses, and decisions and orders of the Commission. (Subscribers

Treaties
Indian Affairs, Laws & Treaties, Vol. 2 As the United States expanded westward from the
original thirteen colonies, settlers often confronted the existing owners
of the land. As a result the federal government often negotiated treaties
with these Native Americans. This collection of official treaties was
compiled by the United States and originally printed in 1904. It contains
the full text of nearly a hundred treaties between the government and such
tribes as the Delaware, Seneca, Yakima, and Sioux. Ranging from the late
1700's through the end of the 19th Century, each treaty includes the names
of those present, both U.S. representatives and Native American tribal
chiefs. Apart from the historical importance of these documents, for those
seeking ancestors who were involved in treaty negotiations, this can be an
illuminating database. (Subscribers Only)
