Sisseton Indian Agency (North Dakota)

Records
Letters received by the Office of Indian Affairs from the Sisseton Agency, 1867-1880, have been microfilmed by the National Archives as part of their Microcopy Number M234. Copies are available at the National Archives and at the Family History Library and its family history centers on their microfilm roll numbers 1661554 thru 1661561.

Some of the textual records of the Sisseton Agency have been transferred to the Central Plains Regional Archives of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Kansas City. Among their many administrative files are the following records which may be of particular interest to family historians:


 * Allotment records, 1875, 1888
 * Land description ledgers, 1888-1918
 * Annuity payrolls, 1893-1934
 * Census rolls, 1906-1943
 * Heirship records, 1914
 * School census records, 1915-1952
 * Student records, 1930-1931

Some of these records (and perhaps others of the agency records) have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and at their many family history centers.
