Donna, this list is mostly the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma but other tribes are also listed, including some NW Tribes. I do see some school listings but I don't know where they are. Sorry Stephen, I don't see the Snohomish Tribe on this list. Check with the Seattle NARA offices to see what they might have in their hard-copy files. This is a list of microfilms. -- jws -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Fri. 11 Oct, 1996 Cherokee and Other Tribal Information The Seattle branch of the Federal Archives has several holdings for researching Native Americans. For many years the holdings were for the NW tribes, but now have been expanded to include many other Tribal Nations, though not all inclusive here. Here is a partial listing of all the microfilm they hold for NA research. The first three groups listed are complete, while those other groups may have only one or two items. The items that have a number starting 7RA... are copies of what can be found in the Fort Worth, Texas NA archives.
