I want this tread for people to put their input to this and why they think they belong. I`m going to add some wordings that Mrs Barbra Buttes listed in some papers she posted as to why she feels some doesnt belong.
Agent Walter McLeod to Commissioner of Indian Affairs (Sept. 2, 1886)). Although the census
was not prepared as of May 20, 1886, inclusion on the McLeod list has been deemed to create a
rebuttable presumption that an individual met the requirements of the subsequent 1888, 1889,
and 1890 Acts. See, e.g., Pls.’ Ex. 20, at 2 (Memorandum from the Acting Associate Solicitor to
the Field Solicitor (Aug. 19, 1971)). On January 2, 1889, Robert B. Henton, Special Agent for
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, took a second census of those Mdewakanton living in Minnesota
since May 20, 1886. Id. This second census was done at the request of the Secretary of the
Interior, who wanted “information as complete as possible.” Pls.’ Ex. 17, at 2 (Letter from
Secretary of Interior to Commissioner of Indian Affairs (Oct. 12, 1888)). The McLeod and
Henton listings (together, “the 1886 census”) were used to determine who would receive the
benefits of the amounts appropriated under the 1888, 1889, and 1890 Acts.
