Pocahontas' Descendants
"The Pocahontas Foundation, based upon information furnished to it, has compiled a tentative list of the descendants of Pocahontas, a list set forth in Pocahontas' Descendants . This present volume, the third involving additions and corrections to the existing work, contains more than 120 pages of changes and revisions, with a forty-page index of 6,500 names. The name of the spouse of a Pocahontas descendant is listed even though that spouse is not a descendant of Pocahontas, but the name of a parent of such a spouse is not indexed unless, of course, that parent is a descendant of Pocahontas as well. This new volume is an indispensable adjunct to contemporary Pocahontas scholarship."A Student's Guide to Native American Genealogy

"When I was going to boarding school, the U.S. government told us not to speak Navajo," recalls Teddy Draper Sr. of Chinle, Arizona, "but during the war, they wanted us to speak it!" Speaking their native language--which the Japanese could not decode--Navajo soldiers were instrumental in U.S. marine victories in the Pacific during World War II, relaying vital information between the front lines and headquarters. Kenji Kawano, a native Japanese photographer whose black and white images of surviving "code talkers" are unusual for their sensitivity, notes with some irony that these soldiers were his father's enemies at one time.Five Civilized Tribes: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole, Creek
Cherokee Connections
by Myra Vanderpool Gormley
"Cherokee Connections is an introduction to genealogical sources pertaining to the Cherokee nation, and it is designed specifically for researchers who are trying to prove their heritage for tribal membership as well as for those who are simply interested in investigating family legends about Cherokee ancestry. It includes a thumbnail history of the tribe that is both fascinating and informative. In addition, the book elaborates on such famous topics as the "Trail of Tears," the seven clans, and tribal divisions. Cherokee Connections also examines some of the myths and folklore surrounding this famous Native American tribe."All important sources of genealogical value are explained with respect to the reasons why the various records were generated and where they can be accessed today. This includes such well-known records as the Dawes Commission records, the Dawes Final Rolls, and the Guion Miller Rolls, to mention only a few. The bibliography provides references to other material of genealogical and historical value, while four carefully drawn maps show Cherokee settlements in the southeast and later settlements in Oklahoma and points west. For anyone with an interest in Cherokee ancestry, this little provides instant gratification, supplying all essential information in a mere sixty-four pages of text."
The Dawes Commission and the Allotment of the Five Civilized Tribes 1893-1914
"Important New Resource for Native American Research from Ancestry.com
of special interest to researchers of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek or Seminole Indian Nations."Discover how the U.S. Congress tried to end self-government for five major American Indian tribes and assimilate them into the dominant culture. Regarded by some as a human tragedy, The Dawes Commission is one of the most highly controversial subjects involving US government treatment of Native Americans. From 1893 to 1914, the program provided an allotment of land to each Indian that enrolled. Yet of the 300,000 people who applied for enrollment, almost two thirds were rejected. Why? The answer to that golden question has eluded scholars for nearly a century. This important work takes major strides in unraveling the mystery.
" Ken Carter's thorough research of the Dawes Commission delves into its organization and procedures to clarify enrollment and allotment decisions for the thousands of people who applied. It points out the difficulties Congress had in implementing its plan and the disastrous effects the program had on the people it was designed to help. Rich in historical photographs, thoroughly footnoted, and containing actual documents of the commission's records, the book will provide anyone with interest in the Dawes Commission, or of Native American ancestry, a heightened understanding of the Dawes Commission and the Five Civilized Tribes. Includes a list of tribal rolls from the Dawes Commission records."Cherokee Proud: A Guide for Tracing and Honoring Your Cherokee Ancestors
Osage Indian Bands and Clans
" New second edition, partially in full color of Cherokee Proud, 1st ed. which has been one of the best selling Native American books in the nation for over two years. Absolutely the "bible" of Cherokee Indian Genealogy written by a Cherokee who is considered an expert in tracing Cherokee roots. Millions of Americans have family traditions of Cherokee blood, but few know the steps necessary to prove or disprove the old stories. This highly acclaimed and comprehensive new 336 page book contains everything any researcher needs to guide them to documenting ancestry. Includes many little known places to search other than the usual census rolls. If the data in Cherokee Proud , 2nd Ed. doesn't lead one to proof of Cherokee ancestry, nothing can! Also features ribbons of Cherokee culture: history, customs, music, dance and language to acquaint those who have just learned of possible blood connections with the lifestyles of those they seek."
"The grandson of an Osage Indian, author Louis Burns wrote this primer to help persons of Osage descent trace their paternal lineage and to introduce researchers to Osage culture and the nuances of its language. The book opens with a discussion of the Osage dispersion from Missouri to Oklahoma and Kansas from about 1800 to 1870. Mr. Burns provides very helpful maps showing the concentration of the various tribal bands in each state. Next comes a summary of the richest sources of 19th-century Osage heritage, namely, Jesuit records, a great source of information concerning baptisms, marriages and interments; U.S. Government Annuity Rolls; and Osage Mission records, the best source of Osage family data. The aforementioned is followed by a list of tribal towns, as extracted from Jesuit records, and a list of Osage bands as found in the Annuity Rolls of 1878. When these sources are used in conjunction with the author's detailed listing of clans and their members, which furnishes names in both phonetic Osage and English, researchers stand a good chance of tracing their Native American heritage from about 1800 to the present. The balance of this carefully crafted volume focuses on aspects of the language, some knowledge of which is indispensable for successful research. Featured are an index to Osage names in Osage and in English, a listing of and indexes to kinship terms, a critical pronunciation key to Osage, and a conversion table for Osage Indian syllables. Mr. Burns' seminal work concludes with a bibliography of tribal literature."
