Indian Territory

The Dawes Commission was organized in 1893 to accept applications for tribal enrollment between 1899 and 1907, mostly from Indians who resided in the Indian Territory which later became the State of Oklahoma. Tribal membership entitled qualified individuals to land allotments from the U. S. Government. These enrollment records were eventually published as the Dawes Commission, also known as the The Five Civilized Tribes, which consisted of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole Tribes.
