Records
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.
Annual Indian Census Rolls were taken at this agency for 1910-1919, and 1921-1927. These rolls have been microfilmed by the National Archives as part of their Microcopy Number M595, roll 199[1]. Copies of these records are also available at the National Archives, their Regional Archives, and at the Family History Library and its family history centers (their microfilm number 576888). These census rolls are also available online at Ancestry.com's subscription web site.
Some burial records are available online for the Moccasin Kaibab Indian Reservation Cemetery, 1912-1927.
