Certificates

Homestead Certificate

Homestead certificates for the Chickasaw Indians were a part of the United States government’s efforts to allocate land to Native American tribes under various treaties and agreements. The Chickasaw Nation, like other Native American tribes, was allotted land as part of these agreements, often as a way to compensate for land taken or to facilitate their integration into American society.

Chickasaw Nation Roll

The Chickasaw Nation Roll refers to a document or list that enumerates members of the Chickasaw Nation, typically created for purposes such as citizenship verification, tribal enrollment, or distribution of benefits. These rolls were often compiled by government officials, tribal authorities, or other entities tasked with managing tribal affairs.

Hi! I’m Kendall McGuire. Inspired by my Chickasaw heritage and family stories, I started researching at 13. By 15, I published a book and launched Roots and Resilience to share and preserve Chickasaw history.
