These census rolls were usually submitted each year by agents or superintendents in charge of Indian reservations,
as required by an act of July 4, 1884 (23 Stat. 98).
The data on the rolls vary to some extent, but usually given are the English and/or Indian name of the person,
roll number, age or date of birth, sex, and relationship to head of family. Beginning in 1930, the rolls also show
the degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and sometimes other information.
For certain years--including 1935, 1936, 1938, and 1939--only supplemental rolls of additions and deletions were
compiled. Most of the 1940 rolls have been retained by the Bureau of Indian Affairs .
There is not a census for every reservation or group of Indians for every year. Only persons who maintained a
formal affiliation with a tribe under federal supervision are listed on these census rolls.
These are scanned copies of the original pages.
They are mostly hand-written, not neatly typed transcriptions.
Quality of handwriting and original pages varies.
The Omaha are a
federally recognized Native American nation which lives on the Omaha Reservation in northeastern Nebraska and western Iowa. The Omaha Indian Reservation lies primarily in the southern part of Thurston County and northeastern Cuming County, Nebraska, but small parts extend into the northeast corner of Burt County and across the Missouri River into Monona County, Iowa. Its total land area is 307 sq mi and a population of 5,194 was recorded in the 2000 census. Its largest community is Macy.
They migrated to the upper Missouri area and the Plains by the late 17th century from earlier locations in the Ohio River Valley. The Omaha speak a Siouan language of the Dhegihan branch that is very similar to that spoken by the Ponca. The latter were part of the Omaha before splitting off into a separate tribe in the mid-18th century. They were also related to the Siouan-speaking Osage, Quapaw, and Kansa peoples, who also migrated west under pressure from the Iroquois in the Ohio Valley.
About 1770, the Omaha became the first tribe on the Northern Plains to adopt equestrian culture. Developing "The Big Village" (Ton-wa-tonga) about 1775 in current-day Dakota County in northeast Nebraska, the Omaha developed an extensive trading network with early European explorers and voyageurs. They controlled the fur trade and access to other tribes on the Upper Missouri River.
Omaha, Nebraska, the largest city in Nebraska, is named after them. Never known to take up arms against the U.S., members of the tribe assisted the U.S. during the American Civil War.
