A Resource for Chickasaw Native American History and Genealogy


The Oklahoma Indian-Pioneer Interviews

are approximately 120 volumes of interviews describing the peoples and their lives in the Indian Territory.

According to the "Guide to Manuscript Collections, Western History Collections, University of Oklahoma" (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1994), compiled by Donald L. DeWitt, the Indian-Pioneer Papers Collection is in the custody of that institution.

For information about the Indian-Pioneer transcripts, you may wish to write or telephone the Western History Collection, University of Oklahoma, Monnet Hall 452, Norman, OK 73019, telephone 405-325-3641. A separate publication, entitled "American Indian Resource Materials in the Western History Collections, University of Oklahoma (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1990), provides additional description.


also see: "The WPA Oklahoma Slave Narratives."

Edited by T. Lindsay Baker & Julie P. Baker.
Published by the University of Oklahoma Press

There are no narritives by ex-slaves owned by Kemps, but there are some by ex-slaves belonging to some Colbert and Love families. The whole book is interesting reading as to that time period. Reference submitted by Kerry Armstrong
