HISTORY COLLECTION
Documents Relating to the Negotiation of Ratified and Unratified
Treaties with Various Indian Tribes, 1801-1869
408 issues, 8,929 pages, added 11/18/08
American Indian treaties, like all treaties in American history, require

ratification by the United States Senate to become law. Treaties
negotiated with Indian peoples in the United States (the original
treaties are part of record group 11, which is not currently digitized)
are often a valuable source of information for researchers interested in

American Indian policy. So too are the supplementary documents that
offer context and additional information for the treaties. This
collection has been created from the microfilm of record group 75,
records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, specifically RG 75, Microcopy
T494. These ten reels include instructions to treaty commissioners,
reports, letters, and in some cases copies of the treaties. To
facilitate use of the collection, descriptions from the List of
documents relating to the negotiation of ratified and unratified
treaties with various Indian Tribes, 1801-1869, a printed finding aid
produced by the National Archives, have been entered beneath each treaty

title. This information lists the instructions, records of treaty
council proceedings and correspondence for each treaty where such exists

and was included in the original National Archives record set.
