National Archives Roll 7RA4 Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs Group 75: Tompkins Roll of 1867, Citizens and Freedmen of the Cherokee Nation

Tompkins Roll: 1867
The 1867 Census of the Citizens and Freedmen of the Cherokee Nation was taken by H. Tompkins as directed by N. G. Taylor, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, by letter dated July 6, 1867. The enumeration consists of the nine Cherokee Districts in four volumes: Going Snake, Delaware, Flint, Sequoyah, Cooweescoowee, Tahlequah, Saline, Canadian, and Illinois Districts.
- This census was taken as a result of the 12th Article of the Treaty of July 19, 1866, which states that the Cherokee agreed to a general council of delegates elected by each nation or tribe lawfully residing in Indian Territory, which would convene annually in the territory and that the council would be organized and possess powers as prescribed by the Treaty. It provided that after the ratification of the treaty (which occurred July 27, 1866) and as soon as deemed practical by the secretary of the interior and prior to the first session of the council, a census or enumeration of each tribe lawfully resident in the territory would be taken under the direction of the commissioner of Indian Affairs. The commissioner was authorized to designate and appoint competent persons, whose compensation would be fixed by the secretary of the interior and paid by the United States. The purpose of the census was to affix the number of delegates to the General Council. The council was to consist of a delegate for each tribe, plus an additional delegate for each 1,000 members or each fraction of a thousand greater than five hundred.
- The roll is unique in that it appears to be the first post–Civil War enumeration of the Cherokee citizens and Freedmen west of the Mississippi River. The census indicates name, age, sex, and whether the individual was Indian, white, Black, or had mixed heritage. Each district is followed by a recapitulation. The census is not indexed.
