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 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was ratified by the U.S. Senate on February 25, 1831, and U.S. President Andrew Jackson was 
anxious to make it a model of Indian removal to territory west of the Mississippi River. After ceding close to 11 million acres (45,000 km2),
 the Choctaw were to emigrate in three stages; the first in the fall of 1831, the second in 1832, and the last in 1833.  
 
Although the removals continued into the early 20th century, some Choctaws remained in Mississippi. They continued to live on their 
ancient homeland. Nearly 5000 Choctaws remained in Mississippi to become citizens of the state."
