INTRODUCTION
The course of the federal government’s relations with Native Americans began in the colonial
era and has undergone many subsequent changes beginning with the creation of the first Indian
commissioners, whose mission was to cement military alliances and promote trade; to the
nineteenth century’s demand for land, and the consequent herding of Native Americans onto
reservations by military force and attempted eradication of Native American culture; to the mid–
twentieth century’s efforts to reestablish Native American tribal identities.
Federal-Indian Relations
Beginning in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, federal policy commenced
the effort to exchange Native American lands in the east for lands in the unsettled transMississippi west. This effort, known as the Indian Removal Policy, led to a gradual need by the
federal government to provide a Native American “homeland” in the western territory. Many
historians consider this a paternalistic policy. It was felt that eventually all Native Americans would
have to be brought under federal control: “They must be brought gradually under our [federal
government’s] authority and laws…. They should be taken under our guardianship…with
measures intended for their civilization and happiness.”
As the white population grew and western lands were coveted for settlement, mining
enterprises, and cattle, federal Indian policy moved to one of paternalism with a “gloved fist.”
After the Indian wars of the mid- to late nineteenth century came the treaty-making period and
creation of reservations or the so-called Native American “homelands” in the west. This period
ushered in the era of Native American dependency, bred by federal paternalism.
Federal paternalism flourished throughout the nineteenth century and carried into the first
decade of the twentieth. As a result of federal policy, Native Americans were, in fact, dependent.
This dependency called forth more paternalistic responses on the part of the federal
government, manifested in restrictions upon Indian political independence, loss of economic
self-sufficiency and the resultant dependence upon white rations and “blankets,” and wardship
status of Native Americans under the reservation system.
By the late nineteenth century, white reformers sought ways to solve the “Indian problem”
and to reduce the federal burden and control of Native Americans. Their first efforts included
the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 or the General Allotment Act, use of white “Christians” as Indian
agents, and the control of Native American education and training. The
goal of these “benevolent humanitarians” was the assimilation of Native Americans into the
general American citizenry. The solution to this paternalism/dependency was thus the
effacement of the Indian, his culture, social organization, and customs through absorption into
white society. Many historians claim that this movement to acculturate, assimilate, and
“Americanize” Native Americans was the single force dominating all federal–Native American
relations.
By 1920 this policy had proved, in almost all instances, a failure. A new group of “Indian
reformers” sought to rehabilitate Native Americans economically and spiritually. Their goal was to
restore pride in Indian customs, art, religion, and social organization; this pride was to be shared
by both Native Americans and whites. Ending the allotment system and preserving and
augmenting Indian tribal landholdings, reestablishing tribal government, and encouraging tribal
corporate economic activity became prominent goals of this group of reformers. Their ideas were
embodied in social reformer John Collier, and after his appointment to the Office of Indian
Commissioner, they were implemented under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. This act
launched a policy of federal financial and technical aid to tribal groups, sought to reestablish
tribal government, and aimed to preserve Indian culture.
vii
Bureau of Indian Affairs
Created on March 11, 1824, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) presides over the ebb and
flow of federal policy on Native Americans. The mission of the bureau continues to this day to be
to conduct the business of the federal government relating to Native Americans. The nature and
scope of this business has changed with policies and circumstances. The responsibility of the
bureau has never extended to all Native Americans, but rather to those Native Americans
maintaining their tribal affiliation in some manner or to Native Americans living on reservations.
Areas of administration included treaty negotiations, land disputes on the everchanging
frontier, regulation and licensing of trade with Native Americans, and control and eventual
prohibition of liquor in Indian areas. In addition, the bureau was responsible for the
implementation of the allotment system, dissemination of rations and “blankets,” and eventually
the promulgation and implementation of the Indian Reorganization Act under the strong
leadership of John Collier.
Throughout the history of the bureau, its primary responsibility has been to “civilize” and
educate Native Americans. Federal assistance for Native American education in academic and
trade schools was institutionalized in various subordinate divisions of the bureau; these included
the Civilization Division and the Education Division. With the advent of the reservation system,
the federal government increased its efforts to train and educate Native Americans in agricultural
and mechanical pursuits. The Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 brought an even greater recognition of
the importance of the training and education of Native Americans—to make them capable of
managing their affairs as members of the general population. This led to an increase in
construction and staffing of “Indian” schools. Curricula was based on what the Native American
needed to survive in a “white” society—to become assimilated, acculturated, “Americanized.” The
mandate to educate Native Americans had an enormous effect on the bureau, for much of its
energy and appropriations were expended in this pursuit.
Additional responsibilities dealt with land disputes between Native Americans, white citizens,
and/or the federal government. The federal government developed and implemented many
programs geared to economic development, medical and health care, industrialization,
agricultural extension, and employment. These programs were managed by a plethora of offices
and divisions within the bureau. One division that endured the bureau’s various reorganizations
was the Inspection Division. Its purview was to evaluate reservation living conditions and
performance of “Indian” schools and to provide information for the formulation of policies and
programs.
Field officials maintained contact with Native Americans in the performance of their
functional operations. Most of these officials lived on the reservation or at an agency’s
headquarters. Early in the history of the service, agents were as nomadic as their wards. These
individuals acted as representatives of the federal government, answerable only to Washington.
History shows that corruption and political patronage were rampant in the early service, but by
the turn of the century Indian agents (later called superintendents) were responsible to the civil
service system.
These agents corresponded regularly with Washington. The Office of the Indian
Commissioner required a great deal of information in formulating and implementing federal
policy. In addition, data from the far-flung schools, hospitals, reservations, and jurisdictions were
necessary to the lobbying and debate over congressional appropriations.
Native Americans are the only racial group distinctly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.
They have their own body of statutes, and appropriations for their benefit are voted by Congress
in a separate, annual budget. Two major committees of Congress handle the Indian budget and
consider and report upon bills affecting the administration of Native American affairs at large.
Making laws exclusively for Native Americans is no light task. For their proper performance,
viii
legislators must look into local difficulties, both white and native, trace the source of frequent
misunderstandings, study social conditions among the tribes, and try to ascertain and understand
the Native Americans’ point of view on all the larger questions liable to arise in the course of
formulating policies and programs.
One way in which Congress, the commissioner of Indian affairs, and the Indian agent are
brought together with their wards is through the visit of Native Americans to Washington. These
visits were quite common in the nineteenth century, eventually reaching junket proportions.
Funding for these excursions were debited against the funds provided to the tribe by the federal
government. Beginning in the first decade of the twentieth century, restrictions were put on visits
by Indian delegations to Washington. Detailed correspondence between native representatives,
agents, and the Office of the Indian Commissioner was implemented to ascertain whether visits
were necessary or could be handled simply in writing. Only those delegations authorized to visit
by the Indian Commissioner were reimbursed or provided with travel advances. Another reason
for the implementation of written application was the desire to determine reputable tribal
representatives from those who were not.
Series A: Indian Delegations to Washington
UPA’s new Native Americans collection documents the person-to-person relations
between the federal government and Native American tribes, agencies, and/or reservations,
providing insight into the problems and concerns of various tribes. This collection consists of
official and personal correspondence, tribal name lists, memoranda, petitions, agenda, and
reports. In addition, there are news clippings, pamphlets, minutes of meetings, press releases, and
congressional documents.
The documents in this collection highlight the efforts by Native Americans to express their
concerns regarding conditions on the various reservations and agencies, corruption and
misconduct by bureau officials, land allotment and tenancy, and the Indians’ growing desire to
provide for their own economic sufficiency. The primary issue discussed by the various
delegations pertains to land, tenancy, and allotment. Additional topics include fishing rights,
mineral rights, use of public lands for grazing, poverty and health, tribal monies, and education.
Summary
This collection provides reseachers, students, and academicians with a window into the
myriad world of federal-Indian relations. Documentation in this microform outlines the
promulgation and implementation of Indian policies throughout the 1907–1939 period—a
period of entrenched acculturation and assimilation of Native Americans, acknowledgment of the
failure of this “Americanization” policy, and the prospect for future revitalization of Native
American culture and social organization, embodied in the Indian Reorganization Act.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
General Records, 1907–1939
From 1824 to 1907, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) kept its basic records in separate series
of incoming and outgoing letters. The subjects of the correspondence reflected the full range of
civilian federal Native American administration and to some extent military matters, although in
almost every subject area certain records were segregated from the main series of
correspondence into Special Files. During this period, the BIA followed the War Department
record-keeping practice of copying letters in letterbooks and of registering and filing incoming
letters for each year in alphabetical groups by the initial letter of the writer’s surname. During the
1880s a new registry system was instituted. However, by 1906 this system proved unwieldly due to
the volume of correspondence from tribes, agencies, schools, individual Indians, missionaries,
and reformers.
The BIA discontinued the practice of maintaining separate series of incoming and outgoing
correspondence in August 1907. Thereafter correspondence was filed according to a decimalsubject classification system. File numbers, however, continued to be assigned to letters in order
of receipt. In addition, letters were assigned to a particular subject classification and to a
jurisdiction. The jurisdictions were mainly the field units of the bureau: agencies, schools,
institutions, hospitals, sanitariums, and warehouses. There was also an “Indian Office”
designation for records relating to the operation of the BIA’s central office and a “General
Service” designation for general administrative records not relating to any particular jurisdiction.
In addition, there were separate designations for tribes, geographical areas, and a few special
topics (i.e., liquor traffic). This classification scheme allowed for the expeditious handling of the
influx of documentation from both the jurisdictions and the tribes or tribal governments. This
scheme consists of a number of subject headings. Each heading is subdivided further by specific
topics or aspects of the main subject heading.
Copies of letters sent, replies received, and any other records relating to the same specific
subject as the first or “base” letter received were filed with that letter; all this material was fastened
together to form a “dossier” or, as it was usually called by the bureau, a “flat file.” In these files
were also placed reports, memos, minutes, leases, contracts, authorities, affidavits, applications,
certificates, licenses, permits, bonds, wills, tables, circulars, photographs, and other kinds of
documents that formerly had been segregated from the correspondence. This provided for a
“complete” record of a particular action, decision, or problem. The Central Classified Files is the
progeny of this type of record keeping.
Central Classified Files
The Central Classified Files span the years 1907 to 1939 and include letters received, copies of
letters sent, reports, memoranda, minutes, petitions, leases, contracts, affidavits, applications,
certificates, licenses, permits, bonds, wills, other legal documents, tables, circulars, accounting
records, clippings, photographs, diagrams, and blueprints. These materials are grouped into
records relating to the central office of the BIA; general administrative records; and records
relating to the individual field units of the bureau, arranged alphabetically by name of
jurisdiction. The records for each jurisdiction are arranged according to a decimal-subject
classification system. Within each decimal-subject classification there are individual dossiers or
files of records relating to a specific subject. These files are arranged chronologically and
thereunder by file number of the first or “base” letter filed therein. The individual documents
within a file are generally arranged in chronological order.

EDITORIAL NOTE
These files were the actual working files of the BIA, and thus were rifled through; material was
added, deleted, or charged-out, and/or rearranged by office and staff members. The original
organization of the files has been retained by the Civil Reference Branch, National Archives, and
perpetuated by UPA during microfilming. UPA has microfilmed this collection in its entirety, with
the exception of exact duplicate documents. Generally, the file folders are arranged
chronologically. For the most part, the contents of the file folders are arranged in reverse
chronological order, with exceptions in the large correspondence files. There are a small number
of file folders whose contents are arranged in straight chronological order.
Documents in this collection have been arranged according to the decimal-subject
classification system used in the Central Classified Files. The decimal number is .056, subject
“Tribal Relations—Delegations.” This collection includes the documentation exchanged between
various tribes, agencies, jurisdictions, and the bureau.

SUBJECT INDEX
The following index is a guide to the major topics, personalities, activities, and programs in this microform publication. Selected individual report and paper titles have been indexed due to their importance
and content. Tribes, agencies, and reservations have been listed as subject headings, but there are caveats
to their use. Tribes have been listed, but the subentries pertain only to tribal organization and government.
The first number after each entry or subentry refers to the reel, while the four-digit number following
the colon refers to the frame number at which a particular file containing information on the subject
begins. Hence, 1: 0332 directs the researcher to the file that begins at Frame 0332 of Reel 1. By referring to
the Reel Index, which constitutes the initial segment of this guide, the researcher will find the file designation, inclusive date, and a list of major topics and principal correspondents, arranged in the order in which
they appear on the film.
