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. (Subscribers Only)

Tracing Ancestors Among the Five Civilized Tribes
Stories about Indian ancestors in the family tree are
common among both black and white families whose roots go deep into the
American Southeast, especially those with links to the Cherokee,
Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole (the Five Civilized Tribes). If
the accounts of family elders can be believed, those ancestors lived in
the not-too-distant past.
