1896 Dawes Commission IndexThis is an index of individuals in the Five Civilized Tribes that applied for citizenship under the Act of 1896. The record includes the name, tribe, and case number. I include this record for those who may not know the tribe from which their ancestors descend. It is my hope that by finding a familiar name you will locate the tribe. There are 14,000 to 15,000 names included in this index and though I have posted many of them some are not included ( the Seminole Tribe is not included here). You can find these records at the United States National Archives and Records Administration, ( Applications From the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Muskogee Area Office, Enrollment in the Five Civilized Tribes Under the Act of 1896) National Archives and Records Administration, Washington
