The Indian Reservation Allotment Era and Records Archives
A treasure trove of information for Indian families,genealogists, historians, and academicians was created during the allotment of lands to American Indians on reservations in the late 1800's and 1900's in western Oklahoma. The thousands of records that resulted in the process are now public and available to those looking for a tie to those allotments and are now available in the database prepared by the American Indian Allotment Research Center (AIARC). The records are available for search for your family by our staff upon request.
Family Link to Allotments
Most American Indians can trace their lineage directly to an allotment on a former reservation. Further, the inevitable mixing of cultures over the past 100 plus years with the Native Americans that were finally located in the Indian and Oklahoma territories and later in the state of Oklahoma has resulted in a large group of people that have roots in the allotments of those lands.
