RELATING TO CENSUS ROLLS AND OTHER
ENROLLMENTS - NARA
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/census/native-americans/1885-1940.html
Bureau of Indian Affairs (Record Group 75)
"Because Indians on reservations were not citizens until 1924, 19th- and early 20th-century census takers did not count Indians for congressional representation. Instead, the government took special censuses in connection with Indian treaties. (The government made its last treaty with the Indians in 1871.) The result of many treaties was to extinguish Indian titles to land. Typically, the Indians agreed to reduce their landholdings or to move to an area less desired for white settlement. Some treaties provided for the dissolution of the tribes and the allotment of land to individual Indians. The censuses determined who was eligible for the allotments."
