Indian Heritage

If you have a "Heritage Claim" please submitted it. Many of the denied Claims were never recorded.

"...Regretfully, there are perhaps thousands of persons in this country who possess some degree of Indian blood, but who are unable to prove it because their ancestors left their tribe before official records of individual Indians were made. Also, there were some individuals who did not wish to be included on a roll. As far back as 1831, the Armstrong Roll states that an individual refused to give name..."  - In reply to an inquiry: United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Choctaw Agency, Philadelphia, MS.
