THE COVER
Teresa Rankin of the University of Oklahoma Publications Department designed the cover of this book. It
incorporates three photographs from the photographic archives of the Western History Collections with a
character of the Cherokee syllabary in the background. On the left is a photograph of Stand Watie, principal
chief of the Cherokee Nation and brigadier general in the army of the Confederacy. The photograph was
taken after the Civil War, probably in the late 1860s. It is image 1459 of the Phillips Collection. The center
photograph is of the Cherokee Female Seminary, a secondary school at Park Hill, Cherokee Nation. Three
students are seen in the right foreground. The Seminary served the Cherokee Nation until 1909. The
photograph dates from the late 1890s and is image 6 in the Piburn Collection. On the right is a portrait of
Sarah C. Watie, wife of Stand Watie. Sarah Watie was a prolific letter writer and the Cherokee Nation Papers
contain many examples of her correspondence. Her portrait also dates from the late 1860s and is image
1453 in the Phillips Collection.

INTRODUCTION
The Cherokee Nation Papers, held by the University of Oklahoma Libraries' Western History Collections, consist of
approximately 104 linear feet of official records and publications of the former Cherokee Nation, and the personal papers of four
leading Cherokee Indian families. The dates of the bulk of the materials are 1830-1907. The subject matter encompasses Cherokee
removal from the southeastern United States to Indian Territory; the formation and operation of the Cherokee Nation government;
the development of Cherokee Nation institutions such as the school and court systems, newspapers, health facilities, and law
enforcement agencies; Cherokee relations with the United States government; and Cherokee involvement in the United States Civil
War, and the subsequent effects of the Reconstruction. Also documented are Cherokee relations with citizens of the United States,
such as the problem of unauthorized intruders into the Cherokee Nation; negotiations for leasing the Cherokee Outlet to cattle
ranchers; rights-of-way for the construction of railroads through Indian Territory; the establishment of banks and postal service in
Indian Territory; the taking of censuses; the allotment of Indian land in severalty; and the eventual acceptance of statehood for
Oklahoma.
Appended to the official records in this collection is a grouping of personal papers from four prominent Cherokee
families, those of James Madison Bell (1826-1915), Stand Watie (1806-1872), John Rollin Ridge (1827-1867), and Elias C. Boudinot
(1834-1896). John Madison Bell was a prominent Cherokee politician, attorney, and businessman. He was associated with the
Anti-Ross faction of the Cherokee Nation, served as a colonel in the Confederate States Army, and was the brother of Sarah Bell
Watie. Bell was also related to the Ridge and Boudinot families and it was Bell who, through his family and political connections, is
credited with accumulating the records and papers that make up the Cherokee Nation Papers. It was from a descendant of James
Madison Bell that University of Oklahoma history professor Edward E. Dale purchased, in 1932, the records and papers that now
constitute the Cherokee Nation Papers.
Many historians consider Stand Watie as one of the two most influential and important nineteenth-century leaders of the
Cherokee Nation. John Ross, Watie's political rival, is the other. Watie led the Anti-Ross or Treaty Party after the assassination of his
brother Elias Boudinot (a.k.a. Buck Watie), and John Ridge in 1839. Watie also served as a brigadier general in the Confederate
States Army and as principal chief of the Southern Cherokees during the Civil War. He was the uncle of Elias C. Boudinot, and as
noted above, his fourth wife, Sarah, was the sister of John Madison Bell.
The Watie correspondence files comment on personal and family matters, social activities, local news, political affairs,
military matters, claims against the United States government, business affairs, the Ridge estate, and other family legal affairs. Some
letters are written in the Cherokee syllabary. Besides the family members already mentioned, correspondents include General
Matthew Arbuckle, Albert Pike, and Major General Samuel B. Maxey, and the principal chiefs of the Cherokee Nation, including John
Ross, Dennis W. Bushyhead, Joel B. Mayes, and Thomas Mitchell Buffington.
As a result of the political conflict inherent in the Cherokee Nation of the nineteenth century, and the interrelated nature
of the families involved, these official records and personal papers are extremely rich in political and socioeconomic information.
They are equally significant because they are a body of documentation created by highly literate and politically astute American
Indians. They provide an Indian perspective on the development, growth, and demise of an Indian government, and its ultimate
incorporation by the United States.
Most of these records and papers are not duplicated in federal archives, or elsewhere. The Cherokee Nation Papers are
complemented by a body of records known as the Indian Archives at the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Northeastern State University at Tahlequah, Oklahoma, also has isolated groups of Cherokee Nation records in its archives. The
University of Tulsa holds the J. B. Milam Collection, which contains some early records of the Cherokee Nation. The presence of
these four additional repositories with Cherokee records provides a rich source for researchers of Cherokee history. Other groups of
Cherokee records are held in state repositories in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia, as well as in the federal archives at East
Point, Georgia, and Ft. Worth, Texas.
ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
In 1981, the National Historic Publications and Records Commission approved the Western History Collections' grant
proposal to arrange and describe the Cherokee Nation Papers. Mr. Jack Haley, Western History Collections assistant curator and
assistant project director for the 1981 grant, directed the arrangement of the Cherokee Nation Papers into two record groups and
forty-five subgroups. Arrangement within subgroups generally followed a chronological pattern, with description primarily at the
item level. Folder number sequences began anew in each subgroup. The arrangement and description of the collection,
accomplished through the 1981 grant, has been maintained for this microfilm edition with the following exceptions.
First, all folders were renumbered. The technique of beginning folder numbers in each subgroup with folder number "1"
made indexing to the folder level impractical. Consequently, folders were renumbered to run consecutively throughout the
collection.
Second, a group of forty-eight Cherokee-related documents held by the Western History Collections, but not originally
part of the Cherokee Nation Papers, have been filmed as part of this microfilm set. They were included because of their topical
importance and appropriateness to the collection. These documents are part of the Western History Collections' Division of
Manuscripts Collection, the Henry Bass Manuscript Collection, and the Locked File Collection. They appear between folders 7389 and
7390 and are not part of the folder number sequence. These materials are identified as DMSS items 1-48, both in the inventory and
the index.
Third, the project director and the project archivist revised selected folder descriptions. These revisions included
rephrasing descriptions to more accurately reflect a folder's contents, or to correct syntax and grammar. Descriptions were also
shortened when possible, with the objective of reducing the volume of the inventory. It originally numbered more than 600 pages
without an index.
The final major change was the preparation and inclusion of the index. The project director and project archivist believed
an index essential to facilitate access to the more than 10,000 folders distributed over 68 rolls of microfilm. The index is based upon
key words in the folder descriptions, and incorporates surnames of correspondents or authors of documents represented in the
collection.
The inventory may be used to find both documents in the original collection, or in the microfilmed set. Headers on the
inventory indicate the number of the microfilm roll on which photographed documents appear while box numbers are included
within the normal folder sequence to facilitate retrieval of original documents. A
checklist following the genealogical chart lists the consecutive folder numbers appearing on each roll of film. The index is keyed to
folder numbers and DMSS item numbers. Consequently, access may be facilitated by first accumulating the folder numbers relating
to topics of interest from the index, then reading the corresponding folder descriptions provided in the inventory. If the documents
are of potential interest, the appropriate rolls of film may be selected from the checklist of folders and rolls.
PREFERRED CITATION
One of the purposes of preparing this microfilm set is to make these records and papers more widely accessible. For
researchers using the microfilm edition, the curator of the Western History Collections prefers the following citation for references:
University of Oklahoma Libraries, Western History Collections, Cherokee Nation Papers Microfilm Edition,
Roll Number, Folder Number, description and date of document.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1994 made microfilming of the Cherokee Nation Papers
possible. The Oklahoma Historical Society Archives Division, under the direction of William Welge, helped immeasurably by
providing the microfilm camera and operator for filming the collection. The excellent quality of images obtained from a diverse
range of materials must be credited to the skill and persistence of Ross Jury, Oklahoma Historical Society microfilmer, who
constantly sought to capture the best image possible. The preparation of copy for the inventory and index was performed by Shirley
Clark of the Western History Collections, whose word processing and editorial skills are unsurpassed. We must also recognize the
work of Del L. Bauman, Michele King, Linda Miles, Daniel Reff, and Mary Goodner, who, individually and collectively, did such fine
work in preparing the finding aid resulting from the 1981 National Historic Publications and Records Commission grant project. It
served researchers well for over a decade.
