FREEDMEN OF INDIAN TERRITORYThe surnames listed here are the Freedmen enrolled by the Dawes Commission from 1898 to 1914. Those names that appear were either born in Indian Territory, were removed here from East of the Mississippi and/or lived in Indian Territory prior to the Civil War. Some names listed were slaves others were free, what must be understood is that most had African blood and many were of African/Indian descent.
