Refocusing on the Legacy of a Lifetime of Native American Wills 1911-1921

The words of your ancestors come to life in these wills. In 1996, these 1911-1921 Native American Wills laid in a file or on a shelf just collecting dust. Until discovered by Jeff Bowen they had never been filmed, reproduced, or transcribed in any form whatsoever.

It's almost certain that they have not seen as many library shelves as they should.

The tribes and people inside these records are voluminous beyond belief. Generations now looking for these pages and family names from as much as 114 years ago will surely be pleased to find those names they have only heard in passing from elderly family members talking about their Native ancestors.

These tribal affiliations (listed below) are mentioned throughout this well documented series. Each volume contains a combination of numerous tribes with detailed family history and an enormous amount of names, along with holdings, locations, beneficiaries, etc.
