Standing Rock Agency - 1

Standing Rock Agency (see also Grand River Agency) The Grand River Agency was created in 1869, although correspondence relating to it was filed with the records of the Upper Platte Agency until 1871. In 1873 the Agency was moved 50 miles upstream on the Missouri River near present day Fort Yates, North Dakota. The name of the agency was changed to Standing Rock in 1874. Standing Rock served bands of both Upper and Lower Yanktonai, Cutheads, Hunkpapa, and Blackfeet. Influential headmen for these groups included: Yanktonai--Two Bears and Black Eyes; Cut Heads--All Over Black; Blackfeet--The Grass; Hunkpapa--Sitting Bull, Four Horn, Iron Dog, Slave, Little Knife, Gall, Rain-in-the-Face, and Red Horn. Today the Standing Rock Reservation is located in both North and South Dakota. Its 562,366-acre land base is mainly found in Corson County in South Dakota. A monument to Sitting Bull is located at his grave in the southeast corner of the reservation. Contemporary scholars Patricia Locke (educator) and Beatrice Medicine (anthropologist) are from the Standing Rock Reservation. Collections ACCESSION NO.

Special Census of Indians, 1880 (M1791). Section 8 of the census act of March 3, 1879 (20 Stat. 475) authorized the Superintendent of the Census to “employ special agents or other means to make an enumeration of all Indians not taxed, within the jurisdiction of the United States, with such information as to their condition as may be obtainable.” A special enumeration therefore was taken of Indians living near military reservations. The enumerators were instructed to include all persons “who were living on the 1st day of October, 1880.” This microfilm publication contains the results of that census. The roll listed


below was purchased by the State Archives for its relevance to South Dakota tribes. The complete publication (5 rolls) is available from the National Archives. CONTENTS NARA ROLL # MF

Indian Census Rolls, 1885-1939 (M595). Because Indians on reservations were not citizens until 1974, nineteenth and early twentieth century census takers did not count Indians for congressional representation. Instead, the U.S. government took special censuses in connection with Indian treaties, the last of which was in 1871. The result of many treaties was to extinguish Indian ties to land. Typically, the Indians agreed to reduce their landholdings or to move to an area less desired for white settlement. Some treaties provided for the dissolution of the tribes and the allotment of land to individual Indians. The censuses determined who was eligible for the allotments. These census rolls were usually submitted each year by agents or superintendents in charge of Indian reservations, as required by an act of July 4, 1884. The data on the rolls vary to some extent, but usually given are the English and/or Indian name of the person, roll number, age or date of birth, sex, and relationship to head of family. Beginning in 1930, the rolls also show the degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and sometimes other information. For certain years – including 1935, 1936, 1938, and 1939 – only supplemental rolls of additions and deletions were compiled. Most of the 1940 rolls have been retained by the Bureau of Indian affairs and are not included in this publication. CONTENTS NARA ROLL # MF

Records, 1864-1922. These records are housed at the National Archives regional records center in Kansas City, Missouri. As part of the Indian Archives Project, the South Dakota State Archives paid to have these records microfilmed to make them more accessible to tribal members in South Dakota. The Standing Rock Indian Agency records are largely unarranged. Groups of like records were selected by the State Archives for filming. Each filmed group is preceded by a target noting the records filmed and, in some cases, including a folder title list. The target and folder title lists were prepared by the staff of the Central Plains Region. This microfilm set should not be construed as being a complete reproduction of the records of the Standing Rock Indian Agency. SERIES DESCRIPTION NARA
