Working together with the National Archives and Allen County Library, Footnote.com has created a unique collection that will help people discover new details about Native American history.
The Footnote Interactive Native American Collection features original historical documents including:
+ Ratified Indian Treaties – dating back to 1722
+ Indian Census Rolls – featuring personal information including age, place of residence and degree of Indian blood
+ The Guion Miller Roll – perhaps the most important source of Cherokee genealogical research
+ Dawes Packets – containing original applications for tribal enrollments
+ And other documents relating to the Five Civilized Tribes
Footnote’s Native American microsite creates an interactive environment where members can search, annotate and add comments to the original documents. Additionally, visitors can view pages for many of the Native American tribes that include historical events on a timeline and map, a photo gallery, stories and comments added by the community.
