=== History  ===
 
Originally part of the Yanktonai Dakota (Nakota), they separated in the early 1700s and settled in the area between the Saskatchewan and Missouri Rivers. In 1780 their population was estimated at 10,000.
 
Inter-tribal warfare forced the Assiniboin to migrate from Great Lakes to Minnesota, where the tribe came in contact with non-Native Americans in the 1800s. They migrated during the 1830s to "Montana," where Fort Union was built by the American Fur Company.
 
A smallpox epidemic de-populated the tribe by 4,000 in 1836.
 
During the mid-1840s and into the 1850s, emigrants were traveling west across the country in pursuit of silver, gold and land. In 1851 the tribe signed a treaty agreeing not to attack those traveling on the Oregon Trail, and the tribe was assigned land in western Montana.
 
In the 1870s the tribe settled on reservations in the United States - [[Fort Belknap Indian Reservation (Montana)|Fort Belknap Reservation]] (with Grosventre Tribe) and [[Fort Peck Indian Reservation (Montana)|Fort Peck Reservation]] (with Sioux Tribes) - and in Canada - tracts of land in Saskatchewan and Alberta (with Sioux, Cree and Chippewa). Reservation living was difficult at best.
 
The logistics of providing food for the tribes was not efficient. When supplies failed to arrive, disappointed and hungry leaders sometimes confronted the government and military officials, which sometimes developed into warfare.
 
Fredrick W. Hodge states that in 1904, there were 644 Assiniboins living at [[Fort Belknap Indian Agency (Montana)|Fort Belknap Agency]] and 535 at [[Fort Peck Indian Agency (Montana)|Fort Peck Agency]].

==== Correspondence  ====
There are several sets of correspondence between the supervising offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the local offices -- agencies, subagencies, etc. The correspondence is often historical in nature, including reports of the conditions among local groups of Indians, hostilities, plans for building facilities, activities of traders or missionaries, etc. Occasionally, there will be names of individuals but little detail about them.

'''Treaties'''


==== Treaties  ====
*September 17, 1851, at Fort Laramie
*October 17, 1855, referred to in Blackfeet treaty


During the latter part of the 18th Century and most of the 19th Century, treaties were negotiated between the federal government and individual tribes. The treaties provide helpful information about the history of the tribe, but usually only include the names of those persons who signed the treaty. See [[American Indian Treaties with the United States]] for more more information about treaties.
'''Vital Records'''


Treaties to which the Assiniboins were a part were: <br>
*Fort Peck Agency, M595,&nbsp;Births and Deaths 1925-1932&nbsp; FHL Film: 576847


*[http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/Vol2/treaties/sio0594.htm 1851] September 17, at Fort Laramie, with Sioux. The treaty establishes the territory of the Assiniboin Nation.
== Important Web Sites  ==
*October 17, 1855, Referred to in Blackfeet treaty


==== Tribal Office Records  ====
*Assiniboine Indians [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assiniboine Wikipedia]


The Tribal Office is responsible for enrollment records, vital records, tribal police records, tribal court records, employment records and many others. They are an entirely different set of records from those kept by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Most of them remain in the Tribal Office. For details, contact that office at the address for the Tribal Headquarters listed above.

==== Vital Records  ====
<references />
 
Prior to the Indian Reorganization Act, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, through their agencies, may have recorded some vital events. Some were recorded on health forms, such as the "[[American Indian Sanitary Record of Sick, Injured, Births, Deaths, etc.|Sanitary Record]] of Sick, Injured, Births, Deaths, etc." Others were recorded as supplements to the [[American Indian Census Rolls|"Indian Census Rolls."]] Some were included in the unindexed reports and other correspondence of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
