I receive emails quite frequently regarding Native American research... you approach it the same way you start any research -- begin with yourself and work backwards in history.  And censuses are a GREAT way to do this.  I refer to them as "cluster genealogy in its finest", meaning, if you find one person, you usually find the entire family.

And many thanks to Bob for transcribing this census for us... his only comment was that he wished he had done this census extraction 30 years ago, before he was working for the Gresham Co-op and Bob Miller would send him to Bowler on heating calls-- he recognized most of the people's names and finally he knows how they fit together!  Thanks, Bob...

The 1938 Indian Census Roll was done "as of September 1, 1938" -- and the original copy lists more information.  Bob has included names, birth dates, blood quantum % and relationships to get you started.  And, the BIA has put out a nifty blood quantum chart that explains how the percentage is calculated.  Click on the bottom of the page to see the chart - feel free to print it for your own personal use.
