Published by Shorey Book Store and compiled from historical government records by editors including Glen Cameron Adams, Charles E. McChesney, Herbert C. Taylor, and F. A. Hazeltine, Rolls of Certain Indian Tribes in Oregon and Washington compiles critical nineteenth and early twentieth-century federal census rolls and allotment records for Pacific Northwest Indigenous groups. The volume preserves official documentation detailing tribal member names, family lineages, and demographic shifts during an era of aggressive federal assimilation and reservation-boundary reductions. By gathering these scattered archival enumerations into a single reference text, it serves as a vital genealogical and historical ledger for regional tribes. A keen insight drawn from the work is how bureaucratic instruments like federal census rolls acted as legal mechanisms of dispossession; while ostensibly created to manage annuity distributions and land allotments, these documents simultaneously codified colonial control over native bodies by reducing complex ancestral communities into rigid, state-administered categories.
