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.
These are scanned copies of the original pages.
They are mostly hand-written, not neatly typed transcriptions.
Quality of handwriting and original pages varies.
The Ho-Chunk, also known as Winnebago, are a tribe of Native Americans, native to what is now Wisconsin and Illinois. There are two federally recognized Ho-Chunk tribes, the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
The written history of the Ho-Chunk begins with the records made from the reports of Jean Nicolet, who in 1634 was the first European to establish contact with this people. At that time the Winnebago/Ho-Chunk occupied the area around Green Bay in Wisconsin, reaching beyond Lake Winnebago to the Wisconsin River and to the Rock River in Illinois. The tribe traditionally practiced corn agriculture in addition to hunting. They were not advanced in agriculture. Living on Green Bay, they fished, collected wild rice, gathered sugar from maple trees, and hunted game.
Through a series of forced moves imposed by the U.S. government in the 19th century, the tribe was relocated to reservations increasingly further west: in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and finally Nebraska. Through the period of forced relocations, many tribe members returned to previous homes, especially in Wisconsin, despite the US Army's repeated roundups and removals. The U.S. government finally allowed the Wisconsin Winnebago to homestead land in the state, where they have achieved federal recognition as a tribe. The Ho-Chunk in Nebraska have gained independent federal recognition as a tribe and have a reservation in Thurston County.
