Greetings, Many of the Native American records come from the BIA and are kept all across the US in the many NARA archive locations because that's where they originated. Today many of those records are on microfilm for easy research even at those locations. However, I can tell you about two exceptions, and I would hope that both would be mentioned at the session scheduled below for Tue 6 Nov, 2001 One is the microfilm for the Five Civilized Tribes that is normally kept at the Ft. Worth NARA. The Seattle NARA has copies of those with the Ft. Worth ID on them for anyone that want's to use them. The other exception is records for tribes in Montana and the Dakotas that was originally kept at the Denver NARA is now kept at the K.C. NARA. How or why that change came about I don't know. I only know that it happened. Another exception to NARA policy is the records kept at Ft. Worth. If you can't make it to Ft. Worth, the NARA personnel will search them for you for a fee. That is the only location they will do that.
