Cherokee Granted Enrollment Cards
& Dawes Packets 1900 - 1907
Volume XII
Jeff Bowen

 Within these pages the theme throughout every Cherokee case came down to one final conclusion; a stamp, applied to every citizenship or enrollment card, "Granted." The whole thing was mass hysteria. The Cherokee were being flooded with non-citizens for decades, it had to stop. They wanted their own government run by their own laws, their own courts. Many rightful citizens were being doubted as to being Cherokee themselves. The Cherokee packets transcribed in this series prove they were up to the task of showing who they were. Their testimony often intriguing, frustrating, yet never showing weakness or defeat. Time and again the Cherokee stood their ground showing their ability to be warriors, man or woman. Their words were for their descendants, they fought to save their heritage while encasing it in integrity for the future, no matter who asked the questions. Inside these pages you will find not only testimony but copies of the actual "Doubtful" cards and in most cases a copy of the Cherokee by blood enrollment card for each individual defending their heritage.

The cases in these volumes are very interesting to read as the individuals involved had to testify convincingly to the Commission proving their bloodlines. The adult children of one applicant can produce several more cases depending on the number of offspring the applicant had. Case in point: Francis Marion Dawson, D-324 from Volume XI has family members in Volume XV. In fact, this particular family has cases throughout the entire series. Some have been published and a lot are yet to come. Below is a list of all the cases related to Francis Marion Dawson.
