Journal of the 1st Annual Session of the General Council of the Indian Territory
Journal of the ... annual session of the General Council of the Indian Territory composed of delegates duly elected from the Indian tribes legally resident therein assembled in Council at Okmulgee, Indian Territory
In accordance with the 1866 treaty between the U.S. and the Cherokee Nation and the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Muskogee (Creek), and Seminole tribes, a council composed of delegates from each tribe met annually to enact legislation for the Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). These reports list the delegates, their debates, and their decisions. We lack the third annual report (1872) in this set.
Original printed paper wrappers, variously colored and brittle; the pamphlets are stab-sewn and glued into early or mid- 20th-century acidic binders. Some of the wrappers have broken loose at the edge of the gluing or suffered other damage or wear, and some interior pages are torn. Remove the pamphlets from the old binders, dis-bind and re-sew them through the fold. Repair the damaged paper using Japanese paper and wheat-starch paste. Create a custom archival enclosure for each.
