United States, Native American, Five Civilized Tribes Enrollment Records, 1898-1914

This collection includes records pertaining to the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole).

This collection includes records such as applications to join the tribes, lists of freedmen, enrollments of newborns and minors, enrollments due to intermarriage, and more. Please note that there may be several images relating to a single person. It is important to scroll through several images before and after each record to find all of the associated images.
