<br />
Interest in Native American genealogy has increased greatly since the 1980s, and access to records of genealogical and historical importance has become easier through microfilming projects undertaken by various federal, state, and privately funded institutions. Because of the interest in Indian tribes of Oklahoma, this section focuses on records available to the genealogist and historian for those tribes.<br />
<br />
The majority of the records cited in this chapter are available from the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City; the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma; the National Archives'Southwest Region in Fort Worth, Texas; the National Archives in Washington, D.C.; the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City; or the American Genealogical Lending Library in Bountiful, Utah.<br />

=Indian Removal=<br />
<br />
During the administration of President Andrew Jackson (1829'1837), the removal of Indians in the East to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River became an explicit policy. As early as 1803, with the Louisiana Purchase, such removals were officially encouraged, and some Indians did voluntarily move west.<br />
<br />
Under Jackson, however, treaties were negotiated that traded tribal lands in the East for land in the unorganized territory west of the Mississippi River. An act of 28 May 1830 (4 Stat. 411) specifically authorized the president to exchange these lands. The actual removals were conducted between 1830 and 1836 by the Office of the Commissary General of Subsistence and were supervised by the military. Some Indians, however, were allowed to move by themselves, and individual Indians who wished to remain in the East could accept a 'reservation' of land in fee simple and remain as citizens, giving up all rights of tribal membership. The removal process was largely complete by the late 1840s.<br />
<br />
The removal was not without problems, most of which concerned reservations granted to Indians in the East and the compensation to Indians for losses. The three most troublesome treaties were the treaty of 29 December 1835 with the Cherokees, the treaty of 29 September 1830 with the Choctaws, and the treaty of 24 March 1832 with the Creeks.<br />
<br />
Numerous treatments of the removal policy are available; among them are Annie H. Abel's ''The History of Events Resulting in Indian Consolidation West of the Mississippi and Grant Foreman's Indian Removal''.30<br />
