	Dawes Rolls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dawes Rolls (or Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes, or Dawes Commission of Final Rolls) were created by the Dawes Commission.
		One of the consequences was the creation of rolls of the members of the five tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole).
		The Rolls remain important today as several tribes use descent from Dawes Roll members as a requirement for tribal membership and the federal government uses them in determining status for Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood.

	Dawes Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dawes Commission, set up under an Indian Office appropriation bill in 1893, was created, not to administer the Act, but to attempt to get the tribes excluded under the Act to agree to the allotment plan.
		It was this commission that registered the members of the Five Civilized Tribes and many Indian names appear on the rolls.
		Against the Act were the meat-packing industry, the huge ranching associations leasing the Indian land, and the Five Civilized Tribes —all well-funded and having great influence in Washington.

		The Final Rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes or "Dawes Rolls" were taken between the years of 1898 and 1906 for individuals who were eligible for enrollment among the five civilized tribes.
		The earlier rolls were used to help document age, family relationships, etc. since no birth certificates were available.
		This may include earlier rolls the person was listed on, marriage dates, birth dates, and possibly a death date if someone died before the enrollment was finalized.

		The allotment process mandated by the Dawes Act differed from earlier approaches through treaties, special acts, and informal arrangements mainly in that it was compulsory at the discretion of the president.
		The views of reformers on the eve of the adoption of the Dawes Act may be inferred from the minutes of the fourth annual Lake Mohonk conference in 1886.
		Dawes responded, "Whether Congress will be liberal enough to set him up, I don't know."27 There is no other mention of the promotion of agriculture anywhere in the 48 pages of the minutes of this conference, and there are few other mentions of agriculture in any form.
