[[Image:National Archives and Records Administration.jpg|thumb|left| | [[Image:National Archives and Records Administration.jpg|thumb|left|260px|National Archives I in DC]]'''National Archives'''. The [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]] publishes a catalog of all its holdings relating to Indian records, which can be searched for the specific records you will need to research your particular tribe. It is a good place to start. Most libraries have this catalog, or a copy can be ordered from any branch of the National Archives. Records are listed by nation (tribe), so it's a good idea to first find out which nation your ancestor may have been a member of. Look at the nations that were living in the area where your ancestor was born at that time.<br><br> | ||
