Port Orford Indian Agency (Oregon)

Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency
Twelve bands of Indians referred to collectively as the To-To-Tin Indians.

History
The Port Orford Agency was established by 1854 at Port Orford, Oregon. At its creation, it was reponsible for the Indians south of Coos Bay and west of the Coast Mountain Range consisting of twelve bands of a group referred to as the To-To-Tin Indians.

The agency was not in existence long, as most of the Indians of Oregon were concentrated to reservations following the Rogue River War of the late 1850s.

Records
The majority of records of individuals were those created by the agencies. Some records may be available to tribal members through the tribal headquarters.They were (and are) the local office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and were charged with maintaining records of the activities of those under their responsibility. Among these records are:


 * Allotment records
 * Annuity rolls
 * Census records
 * Correspondence
 * Health records
 * Reports
 * School census and records
 * Vital records

Any existing records of the Port Orford Agency would likely be included in the correspondence of the Oregon Superintendency and successor agencies in Oregon formed after 1856.
