Data Relative to the Rolls of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations

The 1896 Choctaw Census Roll, in possession of the Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes, provides detailed demographic data of Choctaw families, listing heads of families, children, and other household members with their ages and relationships. Notably, the roll, prepared uniformly by a single hand, includes remarks and notations, some incomplete or unclear, often added by the Dawes Commission. This census roll, derived from county enumerators’ lists, was authorized by Congress and used in fieldwork starting in 1897. Despite its generally high quality, the roll contains inconsistencies and missing data, reflecting the challenges of accurately documenting the population at the time.

Conditions which Arose During the Course of the Enrollment Work

At the conclusion of the enrollment work on March 4, 1907, the process was far from complete, resulting in significant confusion and ongoing litigation. The Department of the Interior faced a complex situation, as it had to balance the enrollment of citizens and freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes with numerous other responsibilities, such as allotting tribal lands, resolving land contests, segregating town sites, and managing rights of way for infrastructure projects. These tasks, combined with the necessity of creating and enforcing regulations, significantly constrained the time available for enrollment work. Additionally, the administrative and legal challenges, coupled with the pressures from various stakeholders, highlighted the impracticality of the March 4 deadline and its resultant injustices.
