==== Census Rolls ====


'''Enrollment Records'''
The Bureau of Indian Affairs compiled annual Indian Census Rolls on many of the reservations from 1885 to 1940. They list the names of individuals, their age, and other details about each person enumerated. For more information about these records, [[American Indian Census Rolls|click here]].
 
The following table lists the census rolls for the Cherokee Indians:

'''Treaties'''  
==== '''Treaties''' ====
 
During the latter part of the 18th Century and most of the 19th Century, treaties were negotiated between the federal government and individual Indian 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. For more information about treaties, [[American Indian Treaties with the United States|click here]].
 
Treaties to which the Cherokee Indians were a part were:

==== Vital Records  ====
 
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.


'''Vital Records'''
Some vital records for the Cherokee Indians include:


*Cherokee Agency, M 595, births and deaths 1924-1932, FHL Film: 573871;&nbsp; 1926-1939, FHL Film: 573872
