Seeking how to obtain citizenship of tribe

loretta graham Feb 23, 2021 9:41 PM

My great grandma was married to a Indian chief of a tribe but I don't know which one. But I do know it was Cherokee and would love to know how to obtain citizenship. Her name was Nellie Richards.

Hi Loretta,
Welcome to History Hub
There are 85 people with the last name of Richards on the Dawes Rolls but no Nellie.
Did she use any other name?
Search the Dawes Final Rolls | OHS (okhistory.org)
