OKLAHOMA

The U. S. government and the five civilized tribes, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole were required by Congress to come together and work out an equitable solution to the “Indian problem” which had troubled all parties for many years. Kent Carter thoroughly researched the work of the Dawes Commission and the work it did to strive for equity in hia “The Dawes Commission and the Allotment of the Five Civilized Tribes, 1893-1914.”

In his preface he wrote:

“In 1893 Congress authorized the establishment of an organization that became known as the Dawes Commission. The hope was that the commission could persuade the governments of the Five Civilized Tribes to negotiate themselves out of existence—an essential first step in implementing a policy of allotting land to each individual Indian. Allotment was supposed to promote assimilation into the dominant culture, clear the way for converting Indian Territory into a state, and satisfy powerful groups seeking opportunities for economic development and profit. However, when the tribal governments refused to cooperate in their own demise, Congress used its legislative power to abolish them and gave the Dawes Commission the almost impossible task of determining who was entitled to a share of land roughly the size of Indiana and worth millions of dollars.

The human tragedy that resulted from the federal government’s allotment policy has been eloquently described by Angie Debo in “And Still the Waters Run;” it would be very difficult to improve on her narration of those events. This study focuses instead on the organization and procedures of the Dawes Commission in hopes of clarifying how enrollment and allotment decisions were made and implemented. Almost two-thirds of the more than three hundred thousand people who applied for enrollment were rejected. Genealogists, family historians, and lawyers have been trying for almost one hundred years to understand how the government determined who was and was not eligible. Determination of Indian identity involves factors such as cultural values, social practices, and linguistic ability in addition to the genetics of inheritance of Indian blood. The subject is as controversial today as it was a century ago when the Dawes Commission created the rolls that the Bureau of Indian Affairs was required to use as the final authority on tribal membership.

A study of the Dawes Commission’s activities shows that it is much harder to implement a policy than it is for Congress to formulate it; and also that bureaucracies can produce disastrous consequences even when they have the best intentions. The records of the Dawes Commission, including the applications for enrollment and land allotments, have been open to researchers for years at the National Archives—Southwest Region in Fort Worth, Texas. Anyone who wades into this sea of paper will quickly develop an appreciation for the difficulties that the commissioners faced in evaluating the validity of claims. It is hoped that the following will provide anyone interested in how the allotment policy was implemented with a better understanding of the complex issues involved and how the records were created and used.”

Dawes Commission 1896 Enrollment Index

The Dawes Commission prepared 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. This compilation, in effect an Indian census, was also used as the basis for the allotment of tribal lands to individual Indians. Included among the 14,000 applicants were:

The Office of Indian Affairs early on determined that Indian names for American citizens was difficult to administer and sent out a directive to help solve the problem:

“Department of the Interior
Office of Indian Affairs
Washington, D. C.
March 19, 1890.

To Indian Agents and Superintendents of Schools:

As allotment work progresses it appears that some care must be exercised in regard to preserving among Indians family names. When Indians become citizens of the United States, under the allotment act, the inheritance of property will be governed by the laws of the respective states, and it will cause needless confusion and doubtless considerable ultimate loss to the Indians if no attempt is made to have the different mem-bers of the family known by the same family name on the rec-ords and by general reputation.

Among other customs of the white people it is becoming important that Indians adopt that in regard to names. There seems, however, no good reason for continuing a custom which has prevailed to a considerable extent of substituting English for Indian names, especially when different members of the same family are named with no regard to the family surname.

Doubtless, in many cases, the Indian name is difficult to pro-nounce and to remember; but in many other cases the Indian word is as short and euphonious as the English word that is substituted, while, other things being equal, the fact that it is an Indian name makes it a better one.

For convenience, an English “Christian name” may be given and the Indian name be retained as a surname. If the Indian name is unusually long and difficult, it may perhaps be arbi-trarily shortened. The practice of calling Indians by the Eng-lish translation of their Indian names also seems to me unad-visable. The names thus obtained are usually awkward and uncouth and such as the children when they grow older will dislike to retain.

In any event the habit of adopting sobriquets given to Indians, such as “Tobacco,” “Mogul,” “Tom,” “Pete,” etc., by which they become generally known, is unfortunate and should be discontinued. It degrades the Indians, and as he or his children gain in education and culture they will be annoyed by a desig-nation which has been fastened upon them and of which they cannot rid themselves without difficulty.

Hereafter in submitting to this office, for approval, names of Indian employees to be appointed as policemen, judges, team-sters, laborers, etc., all nicknames must be discarded and effort made to ascertain and adopt the actual names or such as should be permanent designations. The names decided upon must be made well known to the respective Indians and the importance of retaining such names must be fully explained to them.

I am aware that this will involve some expenditure of time and trouble, but no more than will be warranted by the importance of the matter in the near future. Of course, sudden change can-not be made in Indian nomenclature; but if agents and school superintendents will systematically endeavor, so far as practic-able, to have children and wives known by the names of the fa-thers and husbands, very great improvement in this respect will be brought about within a few years.

Respectfully,

T. J. Morgan
Commissioner”

Charles R. Goins, John W. Morris and Edwin C. McReynolds described the first Oklahoma Land Rush April 22, 1889 in their book “Historical Atlas of Oklahoma.” The first land run was for “Unassigned Lands” located in central Oklahoma, the area around and between present day Guthrie and Oklahoma City. Second and Third openings were east and west of the original territory:

In September 1891, surplus lands [unallotted] of the Iowa, Sac and Fox, and Shawnee-Pottowatomie Tribes in the area east of Oklahoma City was opened.

On April 19, 1892, surplus lands of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribe in the area west of Oklahoma City were opened.

On September 16, 1893, the Cherokee Outlet in upper North-west Oklahoma was opened for settlement.

On May 23, 1895, Kickapoo tribal lands, just east of Okla-homa City were opened.

Lands were opened by lottery in the area of Southwestern Oklahoma known as “The Big Pasture.”

From July 9 to August 6, 1901 Wichita, Comanche, Kiowa, Apache and Caddo tribal lands were opened for settlement. Land in the reservations of the Ponca, Oto, Missouri, and Osage tribes were distributed among the tribal members and were not opened to white settlement.

On the morning of November 16, 1907 Pres. Theodore Roosevelt signed a proclamation declaring statehood for Oklahoma. A huge crowd gathered at Guthrie, Oklahoma received the telegraphed message that the “twin territories” had been merged to form the 46th state. In a mock wedding ceremony, symbols of these two diverse communities, a woman representing Indian Territory and a man from Oklahoma Territory, were united in marriage. A new state had entered the Union after many years of conflict between the Indian’s love of the land and the white man’s western expansion.

Genealogists searching for Cherokee ancestors need to know the year that their ancestors arrived in Oklahoma and the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Nation Registration Office advises:

“Many descendants of Cherokee Indians can neither be certified nor qualify for tribal membership in the Chero­kee Nation of Oklahoma because their ancestors were not enrolled during the final enrollment.

Unfortunately, these ancestors did not meet the require­ments for the final enrollment. The requirements at that time were [1] applying between 1899-1906, [2] appear­ing on previous tribal rolls of 1880 or 1896, and [3] having a permanent residence within the Cherokee Na­tion [now the 14 northeastern counties of Oklahoma].

If the ancestors had separated from the Tribe and settled in states such as Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas, they lost their citizenship within the Cherokee Nation. Only enrolled members of the Cherokee Nation named on the Final Rolls and/or their direct descendants are furnished Certificates of Degree of Indian Blood and/or Tribal Membership.”

Married 10 Years, Have 19 Children
Muskogee, OK –

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott of Highland, Kansas, are seeking a home in this state with plenty of land. They will need it, for although they have been married not quite ten years, they are the parents of nineteen children, all boys, and thirteen of them living. They hold the record for triplets, having five sets to their credit, and two sets of twins. All of her thirteen boys are under five years.

Recently the Scotts, deciding that they must find more land,
went to Alberta, Canada. They were not satisfied there and
returned. On the return trip Mrs. Scott and her thirteen
children all rode on one first-class ticket. At Omaha the
conductor made a vigorous protest.

“Madam, you cannot carry a whole Sunday School along with you on
that one ticket,” he said, “and you need not tell me those are
all yours. You will have to pay for some of them.”

“The rules of this railroad provide that a child under five
years may ride free, when accompanied by its parent with a
first-class ticket, don’t they?” retorted Mrs. Scott.

“They do, but you will have to show me.”

Mrs. Scott dug down into her valise and brought out the Family
Bible in which was recorded the names and ages of each of the
children. The conductor had to give in. The mother and children
occupied five double seats in the homeseekers’ car and paid for
only one.

The names and ages of the children are: Ashbell, Archer and
Austin, triplets 4 1/2 years old; Arthur and Arnold, twins,
3 1/2; Allan, Almon and Albin, triplets, 2 1/2; Albert, Albion
and Adolph, triplets, 18 months; Abel and Abner, twins, 6
months. Mrs. Scott is 30 years old and her husband is only a
year her senior.

The mother and children are now in Highland [Doniphan County]
Kansas, while the father is in Oklahoma seeking a location.
