"This series consists of handwritten copies of the general outgoing correspondence of the Office of
Indian Affairs. Included are instructions to superintendents, agents, and other employees and
acknowledgments of and replies to incoming correspondence.  Reports to the Secretary of War
(or to the Secretary of the Interior after 1849) and to certain other officials, including chairmen of
congressional committees, were copied in a separate series of volumes called "Report Books"
(see NARA publication M348 [not held at the Center of Southwest Studies]).

Until 1869 the letters were copied in chronological order. Beginning in that year, two or more books
were used simultaneously.  Letters relating to certain broad subjects (such as land, finance, and
civilization) were copied into separate books, but within each book the arrangement continued to
be chronological.  Most of the volumes are indexed by name of addressee and, to some extent, by
subject.  There are also marginal notations of the page numbers for other letters to the same person."

"This microfilm publication reproduces a series of 26 registers of letters received by the Office of
the Director of the United States Geological Survey, 1879-1901.  The entries in these volumes are
arranged in chronological order by the date of receipt of the incoming communication with some
exceptions.  For each letter, the following information is entered in the register: the date of receipt
and file number assigned to the incoming communication (document number), the name and address
of the writer, the date of the letter, a brief abstract of the contents, and a reference date or notation
indicating the action taken in regard to the communication. Occasional omissions and other errors
occur.

Notations relating to action taken with regard to the incoming correspondence are of particular
significance for 1899-1901, since copies of outgoing communications of the survey are not
available for those years."

"The Geological Survey was established in 1879 in the Department of the Interior to classify
public lands and to examine the geological structure, mineral resources, and other products of
the national domain.  It replaced four earlier surveys: the U.S. Geological and Geographic
Survey of the Territories (Hayden Survey), 1867-79; the U.S. Geographical and Geological
Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region (Powell Survey), 1869-79; the U.S. Geographical
Surveys West of the One Hundredth Meridian (Wheeler Survey), 1872-79; and the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel (King Survey), 1867-79.  The Hayden and Powell Surveys
in particular included ethnological and archaeological studies."

"This microfilm publication reproduces the letters received by Maj. John Wesley Powell, 1869-79. 
It includes letters from frontiersmen and Indian agents, including Jacob Hamblin, the `Mormon
Leatherstocking.'  The letters are arranged systematically first by year and then alphabetically by
the surname of the correspondent and, occasionally, by the name of the institution represented
by the correspondent.

John Wesley Powell, director of the Rocky Mountain Survey, was especially concerned with
Indian vocabularies and linguistics, and he published works about these interests.  Most of the
records relating to these works are with the Records of the Bureau of American Ethnology
at the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C."

Schmeckebier, 1904, a book that was reprinted by Northwest Books (Portland, Oregon), Library of Congress call number: QE75.B9 #222. (The Delaney Library at the Center of Southwest Studies has this book, for use in the library only.)

"This series primarily concerns Indians in the southern United States and the Seneca in New
York.  It represents only a small part of the original incoming correspondence relating to Indian
affairs.  The series contains correspondence from Indian superintendents and agents, factors of
trading posts, territorial and state governors, military commanders, Indians, and missionaries. 
Some drafts of letters sent, vouchers, receipts, requisitions, abstracts and statements, certificates
of deposit, depositions, and newspapers are included.  The records relate to the negotiation of
Indian treaties, land reserves of individual Indians, mission schools, government trading posts,
issuance of licenses to private traders, distribution of annuities, slaves in Indian country, liquor
control, investment of Indian moneys, accounts, and other subjects.  The correspondence is
arranged by year, thereunder alphabetically by the name of the writer, and thereunder
chronologically by the date of the letter."

"The Department of State supervised affairs in the territories of the United States from 1789 to 1873. 
The department attended to such matters as correspondence between the President and territorial
officials, the printing of territorial laws, and the provision of seals for the official use of the territories. 
 In 1873 Congress transferred the supervision of the territories to the Office of the Secretary of the
Interior.  Records of the period of territorial administration by the Department of State are among
the General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59.

These records include correspondence, reports, copies of journals of proceedings of legislative
assemblies, and other records relating to territorial administration."

M348

"These Report Books contain manuscript copies of communications sent by the Office of Indian
Affairs to members of the President's cabinet having supervisory responsibility for Indian affairs. 
The Report Books also contain some copies of letters to the President, Members of Congress,
and other government officials.  During the early years of the office, the letters to the President
and the Members of Congress were often signed by the Secretary of War rather than by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs.  The use of the Report Books to record letters to officials other
than the supervising Secretary was gradually discontinued, and by 1870 Report Books contained
only copies of letters to the Secretary of the Interior.

"All communications to the Secretary were considered `reports.'  They range from extensive
narratives, such as annual reports, to brief letters transmitting documents or recommending
appointments.  They relate to almost every aspect of the administration of Indian affairs, including
the negotiation and enforcement of treaties; estimates and appropriations; legislation; investigations;
claims (particularly for depredations); maintenance of order and military operations; liquor control;
establishment of reservations, trust funds, and schools; the field organization of the Indian service;
location of agencies; appointments; and employees, buildings, supplies, and accounts.

"The letters were transcribed in chronological order, with some exceptions.  Frequently, at the
end of a volume there are some letters that were omitted from their proper date order in the book. 
Report Book 33 (reproduced on roll 33) contains many letters erroneously omitted from other
volumes.

"The earlier volumes have indexes to both subjects and addresses.  There are also notations in
the margin, opposite the copied document, that indicate the page number of the last preceding
and the next succeeding letters to the same correspondent.

"The original Report Books are on M825, Selected Classes of Letters Received by the Indian
Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, 1849-l880."

NARA has listed the following as part of its microfilm publications pertaining the military
establishments.  Its online description (viewed on August 2, 2004, at http://www.archives.gov/publications/microfilm_catalogs/american_indian/american_indian_part07.html )
notes that "The Army's primary responsibility in the West was the protection of white settlers
against hostile Indians.  To do this, the Army frequently established camps and forts in hostile
territory.

"Army garrisons were often established close to Indian agencies.  The respective areas of
authority of the agents and the Army commanders were often in dispute, and their viewpoints
sometimes conflicted.  There was continual controversy over the respective merits of civilian
and military control over the Indians, particularly during the 1870s, when there was a strong
movement to transfer the Office of Indian Affairs back to the War Department.

RECORDS OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, 1780s-1917
(Record Group 94)

"The Continental Congress on June 17, 1775, appointed an Adjutant General of the Continental
Army. After 1783 no further provision was made for such an officer until an act of March 5, 1792
(1 Stat. 241), provided for an adjutant, who was also to do the work of inspector.

"The Adjutant General is charged with matters relating to command, discipline, and administration
of the military establishment, and has the duties of recording, authenticating, and communicating
the Secretary's orders, instructions, and regulations to troops and individuals in the Army.  He is
also responsible for issuing commissions, compiling and issuing the Army Register and the Army
List and Directory, consolidating the general returns of the Army and militia, and recruiting.

"The Adjutant General's Office chiefly handles Army orders, correspondence, and other records,
and it receives final custody of virtually all records concerned with the military establishment,
including personnel of the Army and discontinued commands, non-current holdings of bureaus of
the War Department, and special collections.

"The Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General, 1822-80, are available as microfilm
publications M567, M619, and M666.  Correspondence relating to Indian matters is interspersed
throughout these publications.  The following rolls contain consolidated files relating to Indians that
were identified during the preparation of the publications."

M574

"The Special Files consist of correspondence, reports, accounts, affidavits, and other records
that were brought together for easy reference. The records relate principally to claims and
investigations but include some other subjects.  The claims were those of traders for goods
furnished to Indians or to the government, transportation contractors furnished to Indians or
to the government, transportation contractors for shipping services, attorneys for legal fees,
other persons for services to Indians or to the government, both Indians and whites for losses
from depredations, Indians for losses resulting from their removal from the East, and persons
claiming the right to share in tribal benefits.  Many of the claims were submitted in conformance
with provisions of treaties between Indian tribes and the United States.  The investigations,
other than those of claims, relate principally to the conduct of employees of the office.  The
descriptive pamphlet contains an index of names and subjects and a list of file numbers,
subjects, and date spans.

Most of the records in the series were withdrawn from the general incoming correspondence
of the office; but some records of special commissions, transmitted to the office when their
work was completed, also are included.  Most of the files relate to a single subject.  The
inclusive dates of the series are those of the records in the files, usually the date of receipt in
the office or by a commission.   The actual dates of individual documents, especially those
submitted as evidence for claims, may be much earlier.  Researchers should consult the
descriptive pamphlet for a list of the subjects covered on each roll."

"These census rolls were usually submitted each year by agents or superintendents in charge of
Indian reservations, as required by an act of July 4, 1884 (23 Stat. 98).  The data on the rolls
vary to some extent, but usually given are the English and/or Indian name of the person, roll number,
age or date of birth, sex, and relationship to head of family.  Beginning in 1930, the rolls also show
the degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and sometimes other
information.  For certain years--including 1935, 1936, 1938, and 1939--only supplemental rolls of
additions and deletions were compiled.  Most of the 1940 rolls have been retained by the Bureau
of Indian Affairs and are not included in this publication.

"There is not a census for every reservation or group of Indians for every year.  Only persons who
maintained a formal affiliation with a tribe under federal supervision are listed on these census rolls."

"This microfilm publication reproduces ratified Indian treaties, 1722-1869, with related papers;
eight unperfected treaties, 1854-1855; a chronological list of the treaties; and indexes by place and
by tribe.  The list and indexes include a few entries dated as late as 1883.  These documents are
contained in General Records of the U.S. Government, Record Group 11.  This series of Indian
treaties and related papers is arranged chronologically by the date of the signing of the treaty, and
the treaties are numbered in that order. On the envelope containing each treaty is a label giving the
name of tribe, the date, the date of ratification, the place of treaty, and, occasionally, added
information.  Each envelope is shown on the film before the treaty and other records it contains.
The first seven treaties are copies.  The first original treaty is that of September 17, 1778, with the
Delaware Indians.  Usually the accompanying papers consist of the Presidential proclamation of
the treaty (with which the treaty is often fastened in order to incorporate it as part of the
proclamation), the resolution of consent to ratification by the Senate, and printed copies of the
treaty (duplicates have not been filmed).  Sometimes there are copies of messages from the
President to the Senate, copies of messages or letters of instruction to the treaty commissioners,
and journals and correspondence concerning the treaty. In a few cases, the original treaty is missing.
Envelope 247-A, on roll 10, contains eight unperfected treaties dated 1854-1855."

"The Battle at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, took place on December 29, 1890.  A
band of Sioux Indians in the custody of the 7th U.S. Cavalry was being disarmed when a fight
broke out, resulting in numerous white and Indian casualties.  Many of the Sioux casualties were
women and children.  Beyond these basic facts, the course of events at Wounded Knee and the
ultimate responsibility for them have always been subjects for debate.  The investigative reports
and accompanying papers included in this microfilm publication record much of the earliest phase
of that debate.  They represent efforts of the Army to determine the circumstances surrounding
the events at Wounded Knee and any possible misconduct on the part of the 7th Cavalry."

"Inspectors for the Indian Service were first appointed July 1, 1873, under the provision of an act of
February 14, 1873 (17 Stat. 463).  Until March 25, 1880, inspectors were responsible to the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs.  After that date, inspectors came under the supervision of the Secretary
of the Interior.  This procedural change was necessary because the 1873 act required inspectors to
report to the President. Reporting to the Secretary of the Interior was, in effect, the same as reporting
to the President.

"The 1873 act also provided for the appointment of five Indian inspectors, one for each of five
geographical inspection divisions.  The inspectors examined matters pertaining to the conditions
of the Indians.  They also examined the extent to which the Indians adopted white civilization,
reservation boundaries, the use of reservation lands, the state of industry (usually the percentage
of farming and cattle grazing by government employees and Indians), the character and abilities
of the agent and other employees, school conditions, the status of agency fiscal records, and
enforcement or violation of the law.

"During the 1890s, many inspection reports were submitted on printed forms showing the names
and titles of employees at the agency; their residence, age, sex, and rate of compensation; the
nature and extent of services performed; and comments on character, education, personal habits,
and qualifications or fitness for the position.  Other topics covered in the written reports include the
health of the Indians; the receipt of rations; the removal and treatment of Indians by agents and
other officials; traders' dealings with Indians; Indian courts; building repairs; conditions of dormitories,
kitchens, and dining rooms; water supply; fire protection; and sanitation and drainage.

"Special reports, responding to directives from the Secretary of the Interior were not uncommon. 
These reports concerned a wide variety of subjects but were generally related to charges or claims
made by individuals against agents or employees, or changes in personnel at agencies.  Inspectors
could suspend superintendents, agents, or other employees and designate a temporary replacement
subject to approval by the President.  Inspectors also were authorized to examine all agency books,
papers, and vouchers and to administer oaths for taking testimony from agency employees.  Often
the inspector wrote a separate report for an agency and for each of its day schools and mailed them
as one unit to the Secretary.  When the reports were received, clerks at the Interior Department
registered each one as a separate item.

"The Office of Indian Affairs maintained the reports for 1873-1880 in a separate collection that is now
part of Record Group 75, the Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.  Reports from 1881-1900,
however, were generally filed with letters received in the Indian division and are part of Record Group
48, Records of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior.  To make this publication easier to use, these
two groups of reports have been consolidated.  They are arranged alphabetically by Indian agency,
superintendency, or school and thereunder chronologically by the date of the document.

"The descriptive pamphlet includes a list of inspectors and their periods of service and a list of inspection
reports that gives the name of the field office in alphabetical order, the date and number of the report,
and the name of the inspector."

"The Department of State supervised affairs in the territories of the United States from 1789 to 1873. The department attended to such matters as correspondence between the President and territorial officials, the printing of territorial laws, and the provision of seals for the official use of the territories. In 1873 Congress transferred the supervision of the territories to the Office of the Secretary of the Interior. Records of the period of territorial administration by the Department of State are among the General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59.

These records include correspondence, reports, copies of journals of proceedings of legislative assemblies, and other records relating to territorial administration."

"This series consists mainly of correspondence received by the Superintendents of Indian Trade. Included are incoming correspondence of the transportation agent and, after the closing of the Office of Indian Trade, of the principal agent for the liquidation of the factories. There are letters from factors, purchasing and transportation agents, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Treasury, merchants, members of missionary societies, and others interested in Indian trade or Indians generally. Also included are some drafts of outgoing correspondence, memorandums, and accounting records. For the most part, the letters are arranged chronologically, although sometimes letters received from one person during a calendar year are grouped together."

T275

"By a treaty of March 24, 1832, the Creek Indians ceded to the United States all of their land east of the Mississippi River. Heads of families were entitled to tracts of land, which, if possible, were to include their improvements. In 1833 Benjamin S. Parsons and Thomas J. Abbott prepared a census of Creek Indian heads of families, which gave their names and the number of males, females, and slaves in each family. The entries were arranged by town and numbered; these numbers were used for identification in later records."

T496

"The first treaty by which Indians ceded land east of the Mississippi River in exchange for land to the west was that of July 8, 1817, with the Cherokee Nation. The major Cherokee removal, however, did not come until after the treaty of December 29, 1835. The census rolls for the Eastern Cherokee have been maintained with the removal records. The first, the Henderson Roll, 1835, is the roll customarily made before removal. It lists heads of families and gives information concerning each family and its property.

For more records concerning the Cherokee removal, see also M1475 [not at the Center of Southwest Studies], Correspondence of the Eastern Division Pertaining to Cherokee Removal, April-December 1838, and M234, Letters Received by the Office of Indian Affairs, 1824-1881 (rolls 113-116)."

"The rolls were prepared by the Commission and the Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes and submitted to the Secretary of the Interior for approval as provided by several acts of Congress. Both approved and disapproved names are included. Most rolls give name, age, sex, degree of Indian blood, and roll and census card number of each individual. This series is arranged by name of tribe and thereunder divided into rolls for citizens by blood, citizens by marriage, and freedmen. There are also rolls for the Mississippi Choctaw and the Delaware Cherokee. In many of the groups there are separate rolls for minor children and newborn babies. The names on the rolls are arranged numerically by roll numbers."
