This list of surnames represent the names of the freedmen who were
adopted through the Dawes Commission, between 1898 and 1916. Note that many of
these names appear in other Indian nation lists, and their appearance here does
not provide absolute proof of Black Indian Ancestry. In addition to these items,
it is recommended that the researcher obtain as much oral history as possible on
the family, and then locate the Dawes records on the family, including the names
of ancestors on the Enrollment Cards and other pertinent records.
