My question deals with your Bohanon connections. My family descends from William Bohanon, Sr., (1780--1832) who married a full blood Choctaw woman in Mississippi and came with his family on the Trail of Tears to Indian Territory. From William, Sr., the line is as follows: Joshua Bohanon (1819--1891) husband of Louisa Christy Their daughter Frances Bohanon (1850--1928) wife of Washington Hudson Their son Peter Wayland Hudson (1877--1969) husband of Myrtle May Campbell Their daughter Lillian Thelma Hudson (1907--1996) wife of Thomas Jefferson Olive Their daughter Sharon Olive (1943-- ) wife of Dan Franklin DeLoache Do you intersect with any of "my" Bohanons? I would love to exchange information with you if you do, or if you would be at all interested. I grew up in Antlers, Oklahoma, and know many of the sites which you have named in that part of the state. Sharon Olive DeLoache deloache@intellex.com

Many tribes and Native people have asked, "How are CSBG and other program funding levels determined and how can we get our allocation increased?" The answer is the 2000 Census. Current funding level is based on the results of the 1990 Census. American Indians were severely undercounted in 1990, which resulted in severe reductions in funding and services throughout the entire country. Census data is what is used to determine not only CSBG funding levels, but virtually every federal program that benefits American Indians and Alaska Natives (e.g., education, housing, health, energy assistance, job training, child care, head start). We need to make sure Indian people are not undercounted again in the 2000 Census. Make sure your tribal members understand the critical need for an accurate count. You can assure them that all answers provided are strictly confidential, with no way to connect answers or personal information to an individual. Provide the following information to your tribal members on how to answer the Census: o Check Indian as the only race listing no other admixture (white, black, etc.) o Enter the name of your tribe using only 19 letters. o Check with tribal officials to ensure everyone in the tribe is using the same tribal name with the same spelling. o Make sure that the person #1 on the Census lists as Indian, because everyone in the household will be counted as the same race as #1. Be sure to have a tribal representative attend any Inter-Tribal Complete Count Committee meetings that may be being held in your area. -------------------- The 2000 Census surveys will be mailed out on March 20 to all residential addresses. April 4 is the actual count day, when those without residential addresses will be counted. There will also be a house-to-house canvassing of homes that do not return the mail-out surveys. Let's make sure that WE are not undercounted in the 2000 Census. -- André Cramblit, Operations Director The Northern California Indian Development Council ( http://www.ncidc.org ) NCIDC is a non-profit organization that helps meet the social, educational, and economic development needs of American Indian communities. NCIDC operates a fine art gallery and gift boutique featuring the best of American Indian Artist's and their work, with emphasis placed on the work of the Tribes of N.W. California.

Dusty; The reason I am researching these treaties is that in the fall of 1816, a large wagon train was formed in Tennessee and went to Williamson County, Illinois. This migration appears to be the result of those treaties. My ancestors, the Spillers, Tippys, Impsons and many more families were on that wagon train, which, was loaded with children and which, I believe, originated somewhere around the Springfield, Robertson County area of Tennessee Perhaps someone could either prove or disprove my thoughts.

Sherry, I am not sure if it is or not. I understood her to mean about the Choctaw census for Atoka as I have viewed this, my relatives are there, and if they stated they were Indian, there was usually another sheet that followed that stated what degree of blood they were. This would be the 1900 Choctaw census I am talking about. I emailed her to ask her if that is what she was talking about. Haven't heard from her yet. And I am new at this Choctaw research myself, so I hope I am not misinforming people on this list.

Jackie: You will probably get a ton of answers to this. The Atoka roll is right now not familiar to me. Is this in connection with the Atoka agreement? At the present time, the Oklahoma Band has no blood quantum requirment. The Mississippi Band has put a requirment of 1/2 or more. The La.

We lost our last tribal chairman and things have been kind of at a standstill for a while. I can try to find out. sherry dustyc@microgear.net -----Original Message----- From: Jacque Hopkins Wolski <hopkinsj@ida.net> To: CHOCTAW-L@rootsweb.com <CHOCTAW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, February 28, 2000 6:13 PM Subject: [CHOCTAW] Fw: Choctaw Genealogy >Forwarding for help.

Box 692050, Tulsa, OK 74169, or email to Editor@okit.com Decades of Change - Tribal Census Issues: Removing barriers for a new century Excerpts of his speech to tribal leaders at a recent meeting on the Census By Curtis Zunigha (Delaware/Isleta Pueblo) I come to you today as a member of the Census Bureau's American Indian and Alaska Native Advisory Committee with a unique perspective on the incredible process known as Census 2000. Our committee of nine members from all across Indian Country is charged with advising Ken Prewitt and the rest of the Census Bureau on policy and procedure regarding Indian Country. I recognize the incredible diversity that exists in Indian Country and I know all too well the frustrations and failures of federal government relations in Indian Country. With some apprehension and a keen desire to make a difference, I joined this committee in November 1997, and I am here to tell you that today's Census Bureau represents a change for the better to Indian Country. There has been a significant, serious, and sincere response by the Census Bureau since my contact. Both Indian Country and the Census Bureau must embrace this premise and use it as a foundation to remedy the 12.2% undercount of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the 1990 decennial census. This was the highest undercount of any race/ethnic population. And we have only 2 million Indians in this country out of some 280 million. There are major concerns about privacy and confidentiality whether it affects one tribal elder at a reservation health clinic, a struggling young Indian family on welfare in an urban center, or a tribal government protecting its sovereignty. Add to that an inherent mistrust of the federal government, fears of Congress pushing anti-Indian legislation, and lack of knowledge about census data and its impact. What an incredible maze of barriers! And our experience is to tackle it as best we can without sufficient resources, or just ignore it because we don't understand it, or refuse to participate because we don't like to be treated second class. But to ignore an opportunity to take a proactive role in Census 2000 is not so much a slam on the U.S. Government as it is on your own people. I know there is base funding for tribal governments to operate and shares of money for tribal and community development. And BIA money is derived from a certain formula separate from census data. But so many other government agencies and the private sector use census demographics to determine funding and/or investment. Long range economic and social development planning for health, education, welfare, and housing among other things depends on actual census data to reconcile with declarations of tribal jurisdictional areas. We are challenged with reviewing complex and inexact maps, jurisdictional areas, and population statistics. Of particular concern is the vast urban Indian population that may live outside the tribe's jurisdictional area. We must continue to demand our unique legal and political status in addition to our ethnic and cultural identity. We have made incredible advances just in our opportunity to declare ourselves on the census form. Remember when we were listed as "other"? Now we declare our Indian racial identity and principally enrolled tribe. While this form may still not be a complete picture of who you are (multi-tribal or multi-racial), it is imperative that you list yourself as Indian and list your enrolled tribe. When data collection and tabulation occurs over the next few years, we must demand that all data for anyone declaring Indian should be separated due to our legal and political status as sovereign Indian nations. That is why your Indian program contacts at the state, regional, and national levels are so important. That is why IndianNet and a Census Information Center for Indian Country is a critical link. I urge you to invest in the human and technological resources to ensure your participation in Census 2000. As I look back on the history of my tribe, the Delaware Tribe of Indians, this country's first federally recognized treaty tribe, I am struck by the government's census efforts a century ago. We were forced to assemble and be counted if we wanted to be recognized for so-called treaty rights and benefits. Unfortunately for our Indian people that census effort and subsequent enrollments through 1906 preceded Oklahoma statehood that made the Indian state promised in our treaties vanish. Allotment of Indian lands was part of the subversive plan to take our land and destroy our governments. However, many of our Oklahoma tribes now see the problems with those of our ancestors who did not participate. Those who did not answer a census or take part in enrollment caused their descendants to lose out on tribal membership in today's context. But the barriers of the past should only be the milestones of lessons learned. Both tribal governments and the U.S. Government must enter into a good faith effort to make the census work for community empowerment. As we enter a new century, we should demand our rightful involvement in this endeavor known as Census 2000. What is good for Indian Country is good for the United States. We can make this census work for us and create a stronger foundation for the development of our tribes and communities. Remember, tell your people to answer the census forms when they come to us in April 2000. Generations are counting on this. Don't leave it blank. -- André Cramblit, Operations Director The Northern California Indian Development Council ( http://www.ncidc.org ) NCIDC is a non-profit organization that helps meet the social, educational, and economic development needs of American Indian communities.

Hi: As this has been sent to various Indian sites, this is what I had to say on the others. As me and my 4 children are on the rolls of the Delaware Tribe of Western Oklahoma, I will be filling out the census card that comes in the mail. Thank you for passing this on. Sandi :)
