Introduction

The Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency records are composed of bound volumes, unbound

documents and press copies dating from 1869-1933. They cover all major subjects under Indian and

government relations, such as agents’ reports, census and enrollment records, allotment, land leases

and sales, intertribal and military relations, Indian annuity and per capita payments, church and school

records, agency financial and employee records, among others.

Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency: A treaty between the United States and the Cheyenne and Arapaho

tribes, Oct. 28, 1867 (Stat. L., xv, 593) provided for a reservation in what is now Oklahoma for the

Southern Cheyenne and Southern Arapaho Indians. In 1869 a temporary agency was established at

Camp Supply, Indian Territory with Brinton Darlington in charge as agent. The location of the reservation

was altered by Executive Order, Aug. 10, 1869, and in May 1870 the agency was moved to a site five

miles northwest of the present town of El Reno. In 1873 a post office was established there called

Darlington in memory of the first agent who had died the previous year.

From 1869 through 1874, this agency, called the Upper Arkansas Agency, was under the Central

Superintendency, Office of Indian Affairs. In 1875, the name was changed to Cheyenne and Arapaho

Agency; this designation has remained unchanged to the present day.

In 1877, several bands of Northern Cheyenne numbering 927 people were brought to

Darlington. Another contingent of about 200 reached there in 1878. In 1881 Little Chief’s band was

allowed to move to Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota Territory. In Sep. 1883, the last of the Northern

Cheyenne wishing to remove to their old home arrived at Pine Ridge Agency. The records of these

Northern Cheyennes for the time they were at the southern agency remain in the files of the Cheyenne

and Arapaho Agency.

Although Agent G. D. Williams in his report to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1887 spoke

of a Subagency at Cantonment, it was not until Nov. 30, 1902, that the division was officially recognized.

Part of the agency affairs came under the supervision of the head of the Cantonment Indian Training

School with headquarters at the school three miles northwest of Canton. Another portion was assigned

to the Superintendent of Seger Indian Training School located at Colony. The remainder of the agency

was under the direction of the Cheyenne and Arapaho School superintendent at the old agency

headquarters at Darlington. By Dec. 1909, a further division created the Red Moon Agency located at

the Red Moon School at Hammon.

In Mar. 1910, the removal of the Darlington Agency to Caddo Springs was authorized. The move

was completed in May 1915 and the name changed to Concho. On Apr. 9, 1917, Cato Sells,

Commissioner of Indian Affairs, ordered the consolidation of the Red Moon Agency with the Seger

Agency at Colony. The next reorganization occurred in 1927. At that time, Seger Agency was abolished

and Cantonment Agency became part of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency in Concho.

History of the Records: Each of the subagencies mentioned above generated and received its own

correspondence and created its own records. Following passage of the Congressional Act of Mar. 27,

1934 (H. R. 5631 Public No. 133), these tribal records were placed in the custody of the Oklahoma

Historical Society with those from other agencies within the state. When brought to the Historical

Society, these records were in various states of order, and it was decided by Dr. Grant Foreman of the

Society’s Board of Directors and Mrs. Rella Looney, Archivist (1929-1974) to place them in useable

research categories according to subject. This order in many files varied from their original agency filing

order which could not be ascertained.

Within each category documents were filed chronologically and the subject categories were

placed in file cases or shelved in alphabetical order under each agency. One group of Cheyenne and

Arapaho records from the Cantonment agency was brought to the Archives in later years and has not

been completely sorted and processed. Of necessity it will be microfilmed separately from the above

collection.

The records have proved to have had extensive research value and use to students of Indian

culture and history in the past 45 years. Use of the records has been facilitated by an unpublished

inventory of the categories within each agencies’ holdings. This includes the name of the agency, the

subject category, the inclusive dates, number of pages contained within each group, and location within

the archives. In addition, indexing of the records has continued, but is as yet incomplete. In microfilming

these documents an attempt has been made to combine related categories, i.e. land allotment, lease

and sales. This will not follow the present organization within the Archives, but it is thought that it will

be the most useful procedure for research use.

Cantonment Letterpress Book – Volume 3: Dec. 5, 1894-June 27, 1896

o This volume contains letters from Issue Clerk Carroll Briscoe and Clerk in Charge Stephen Janus chiefly to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agent Captain A. E. Woodson concerning the problems of managing the subagency plant and personnel in the course of maintaining schools, distributing agricultural supplies and issuing rations. To issue beef rations to individuals rather than to bands was a plan developed in several of the letters in an effort to break up large camps and undermine the authority of the chiefs. The election of a new set of chiefs was the purpose of a large temporary camp set up in Sep. 1895; the lists of chiefs elected are given in the record.

o Pages 1, 15, 25, 34, 64, 67, 72, 76-77, 102-103, 149-150, 182-183, 210, 218, 318, 321, and 323-327 are missing.

o This volume contains letters from Clerks in Charge Stephen Janus, W. A. Sullivan and

Fred Winterbottom chiefly to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agent Captain A. E. Woodson.

o There are letters from Cantonment and notices received from Darlington Agency to be

forwarded to District Farmers concerning management of the subagency, distributing

agricultural and housebuilding supplies and issuing rations. The last mentioned matter

continued to be a source of great controversy, many Cheyenne leaders keeping their

band members from taking beef rations from the block. The matter of school

enrollment also provoked controversy with many Cheyennes refusing to place their

children in any school not located within the sub-agency area.

o Pages 277, 360, and 384 are missing.

Stouch and to Clerk in Charge Fred Winterfair, other subagency personnel, lessees of Indian allotments and other persons.

o The volume deals with the Superintendents’ efforts to run the Cantonment Boarding School in face of the dissatisfaction of some Cheyennes who allowed their children to stay out of school. Superintendent Wilson especially had trouble with Chief Little Man, the Arrow Keeper of the Cheyennes. Meanwhile, Wilson took charge of the subagency on Mar. 5, 1901 after the position of Clerk had been abolished. From that time on, Wilson had to attend to leasing arrangements and to the disbursement from Indian trust funds as well as to school affairs.

o This volume contains letters from Superintendent Horace E. Wilson chiefly to Major

o Wilson reported on the management of the subagency as well as that of the school. The

most important topic he had to deal with was the imminent end of ration issues to able-

bodied Indians and with the need to find employment for them to make up for the loss

of rations. The most urgent business that he had to address in school affairs was his

unpopularity with his staff.
