Verified histories
Core history is ready for careful public use.
Dataset reviewed September 3, 2026
Research status
This public research release includes every record that meets the current text-use threshold. It is not a claim that every Oklahoma band has been found or that every inventory record is publishable.
Documented with gaps
A narrower history is usable when its limitations remain visible.
Need core research
Identity, locality, operation, or source strength still needs improvement.
What is available now
All 217 text-usable records are represented across seven collections: 22 verified histories and 195 narrower histories with their gaps disclosed. The 75 records needing core research are withheld from the directory.
Fifteen publication files appear across ten band profiles. Every other profile remains complete without a substitute photograph.

Publication does not mean every record is complete.
This release publishes the 217 records that meet the current text-use threshold. Research, corrections, source review, and image-rights work will continue after launch.
