Crow Creek and Lower Brule Reservation


Crow Creek and Lower Brule Reservations sit on opposite sides of the Missouri River. Crow Creek covers parts of Hughes, Hyde, and Buffalo Counties. Lower Brule is mainly in Lyman Co, with a small portion in Stanley Co.

Here is a list of some of the records available on microfilm from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA):

The census records are from NARA in Washington, D. C.

All of the other records are from National Archives-Central Plains Region (Kansas City, KS)

The film numbers shown are from the Family History Library card catalog.
I have written to NARA requesting a catalog for the Central Plains Regional Archives.
