Its a very complex question with no simple answer unless you ask for a specific year in questioned....slaves and free people of Color before the Civil War, freedmen just after the Civil War who made claimed to citizenship? Which tribe? Freedmen during the reconstruction years? Freedmen during the time of the Dawes commission and would this include the new born and minor accepted under the Act of April 26th...or would it go deeper and include Creek Nationals for example who were not considered freedmen under Act of April 26th found under the JW Dunn roll of 1866, but cast on the by blood rolls...a very complex question, unless you just want a guesstimate of all Black folks in Indian Territory wither classified as Indian or Freedmen....Eli GraysonEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104973297083584889noreply@blogger.com
