This database is a collection of records compiled from agent census rolls for the years 1914 through 1920.  Facts regarding name, sex, age or date of birth, relationship to head of household, and year of census are provided for over 5100 reservation residents. In addition, it includes Native Americans who lived in the Mason Valley area, but not on the reservation.
