Offered here is an original 1903 United States Government Printing Office publication titled Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, Volume I — Statutes, Executive Orders, Proclamations, and Statistics of Tribes, compiled and edited by Charles J. Kappler, LL.M., Clerk to the Committee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate. Issued in Washington, D.C., as 57th Congress, 1st Session, Senate Document No. 452, this landmark reference work was compiled to December 1, 1902 and remains one of the most important sources for the study of Native American legal and governmental history.

Measuring approximately 8 x 11.25 inches, this substantial volume contains 1,152 pages of federal statutes, executive orders, presidential proclamations, reservation records, tribal statistics, agency information, appendices, and index material relating to Native American tribes throughout the United States. The work was assembled to provide a comprehensive reference to laws and governmental actions affecting tribal nations and remains widely cited by historians, legal scholars, genealogists, tribal researchers, and institutions.

Coverage includes legislation and records relating to numerous tribes and nations, including the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Chippewa, Ute, Apache, Navajo, Nez Perce, Winnebago, Yankton Sioux, Yuma, and many others. Subjects include treaty implementation, reservation establishment and modification, land cessions, allotment policies, agency administration, tribal statistics, Indian Territory matters, and the evolving legal relationship between Native American tribes and the United States government during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
