Land Allotment Tax Records and Learning Contracts of the Omaha, Winnebago, and Santee Sioux Tribes of Nebraska
Scope and Contents
The Land Allotment Tax Records and Learning Contracts of the Omaha, Winnebago, and Santee Sioux Tribes of Nebraska contain copies of records from the National Archives and Records Administration and research notes from the donor or their associates. The collections includes: allotment records with handwritten index cards containing further information; handwritten allotment cards; a mix of handwritten, typescript, and photocopied reports, lease agreements, land sale records, tax records, memos, and correspondence, some with handwritten annotations or accompanied by handwritten notes on separate sheets. The bulk of the records relate to the Winnebago, although the Omaha, Santee Sioux, and other tribes are also represented. The collection includes materials from at least 1872 until 1982.
Several different handwritings appear in the collection, and it is not known or confirmed who compiled and annotated these records other than the donor. One letter in the collection is addressed to "Mr. Salzle" from "R. Fries."
