These census rolls were usually submitted each year by agents or superintendents in charge of Indian reservations,
as required by an act of July 4, 1884 (23 Stat. 98).
The data on the rolls vary to some extent, but usually given are the English and/or Indian name of the person,
roll number, age or date of birth, sex, and relationship to head of family. Beginning in 1930, the rolls also show
the degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and sometimes other information.
For certain years--including 1935, 1936, 1938, and 1939--only supplemental rolls of additions and deletions were
compiled. Most of the 1940 rolls have been retained by the Bureau of Indian Affairs .
There is not a census for every reservation or group of Indians for every year. Only persons who maintained a
formal affiliation with a tribe under federal supervision are listed on these census rolls.

The Niitsitapi, also known as the Blackfoot Indians, reside in the Great Plains of Montana and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Only one of the Niitsitapi are called Blackfoot or Siksika.
The name is said to have come from the color of the peoples’ leather shoes, or moccasins. They had typically dyed or painted the bottoms of
their moccasins black, but one story claimed that the Siksika walked through ashes of prairie fires, which in turn colored the bottoms of
their moccasins black.
European anthropologists believe the Niitsitapi had not originally come from the Great Plains of the Midwest North America, but rather from
the upper Northeastern part of the country. The Niitsitapi started off as woodland people but as they progressively made their way over to the
Plains, they had adapted to the ways of life and had become adept to the land.
They established themselves as one of the most powerful Indian tribes on the Plains in the late 18th century and earning themselves the
name "The Lords of the Plains." Niitsitapi stories trace their residence and possession of their territory to "time immemorial."
