'''(Not to be confused with [[United States Census Indian Schedules]].)''' An Act of Congress of July 4, 1884 (23 Stat. L, 98) required the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to begin recording an annual census on most Indian reservations in the United States. Beginning in 1885, therefore, BIA agents began doing so on special forms. Not all reservations were included as some tribes were exempted from this law. A few agents were inconsistent in creating the records annually. [[Image:Indian 1915 census.jpg|thumb|right|330px]] | '''(Not to be confused with [[United States Census Indian Schedules]].)'''
