The Miami Agency is a currently operating agency of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Its supervising office is the Muskogee Area Office.

Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency[edit | edit source]

Cayuga, Eastern Shawnee, Miami, Modoc, Nez Perce, Ottawa, Peoria, Quapaw, Seneca-Cayuga, Wyandotte, and the Confederated Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, and Wea

History[edit | edit source]

The Miami Agency is the successor to the Quapaw Agency, which was established in 1871 and operated under that name until 1947, when the name was changed to the Miami Agency^[1].

Agents[edit | edit source]

John E. Douglas, Abel C. Pepper, John Tipton, Samuel Milroy, Allen Hamilton, Joseph Sinclair ^[2]

Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. Many of the records of genealogical value (for the tribe and tribal members) were created by and maintained by the agencies.

See the listing of records under Quapaw Agency. In addition to the records listed there for the Quapaw Agency, additional records may be in the National Archives Southwest Region (Ft. Worth), including enrollment records, a register of Indian families, other family history records, student records, medical files, census records, and other items of interest to a family historian^[3].
