Introduction

This is a guide to primary source documents relating to Indians in Montana
that are located in Washington D.C. These documents have been identified
and in some cases digitized by teams of University of Montana students
sponsored by the American Indian Programs of the National Museum of
Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution and the UM Mansfield
Library.

The students named the project NOMAP, Natives of Montana Archival
Project. They believe that the name reflects the purpose of their project, and
that the acronym signifies their starting point: they had no maps to guide
them in this daunting process. Nonetheless, they received sound advice from
Jason Younker, an anthropologist at Rochester Institute of Technology and
Coquille Tribal member who had learned important lessons in conducting
the SWORP, the Southwest Oregon Research Project that identified and
captured through photocopies and photographs archival documents relating
to the tribes of the Oregon Coast. SWORP served as the model for NOMAP,
except that NOMAP is being conducted in the digital age (and with a better
acronym).

This guide distinguishes between those records held at the Mansfield
Library, those digitized and available or soon-to-be available online, and
those still located solely in the archival repositories in Washington DC.

The NOMAP team created a key word index to help guide the researcher.
This is more important for hand-written documents, on which it is more
difficult for the computer to decode the writing during a search. A
description and copy of the list is attached at the end of this document.

This is intended to be an organic document, continuously growing.

We offer heartfelt thanks to Dr. JoAllyn Archambault for envisioning and
providing significant sponsorship for this project.

National Archives and Records Administration
Washington DC

NARA holdings include a broad variety of records relating to American Indians. For the
most part, these are records either generated in or received by various agency offices in
Washington DC. Local records such as Indian Agency records are at regional archival
repositories. NARA records include both microfilm and textual records. These are listed
separately in each category. Microfilm collections owned by UM are so indicated.

Record Group 75 Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)

Documents of the Bureau of Indian Affairs relations with Agencies, Tribes and
Superintendencies can be roughly divided into three eras with different organizing and
retaining philosophies: 1824-1880; 1881-1907; 1907-1975. Descriptions and listings of
these records can be found in a variety of publications including Preliminary Inventory
163, Edward Hill, Guide to American Indian Records in the National Archives,
[microfilm Giude]

*1824-1880 records are organized by superintendencies and agencies and have
been microfilmed. The Mansfield Library owns the Montana related microfilms
*1881-1907 records are arranged chronologically by date of their arrival in DC,
and not by agency or superintendency. They can only be found and accessed
using a microfilm index and register to letters. Documents must be called up
individually. This is the most problematic time period in this collection because
the microfilm is available only in DC and it is so time-consuming. This time and
labor intensive inconvenience to researchers has caused a gap in this time period
in many written tribal histories.
*1907-1975. Central Classified Files collected under several de-accessions
(primarily groups 1907-1939, 1940-1957, 1958-1975). The documents are
organized by agency or area field office and then using a decimal system to
categorize specific papers and documents.

Appendix 1: Key Word Index

The NOMAP team has identified a broad list of key words that relate to the history of
tribes in Montana and to the documents located and digitized for this project. We
developed this list of key words to aid researchers. The computer system used to digitize
and display the documents has powerful OCD software that permits near-complete
searching of the typed or printed word, but cannot decode hand-written documents. Each
page of hand-written paper and each hand-written document has been associated with the
key terms related to it in the “metadata” that supports the image. In essence, this means
that the hand-written documents also are now searchable by key word.
