Has anyone had any luck in requesting records of there Amer. Indian ancestors. If so how did you do it? I am stuck.

I am researching a family member who I believe to be a member of the Sioux Sisseton-Wahpetona tribe. I found a record on Familysearch that could be her. I don't know what direction to go in from here. Any comments you can give me would be appreciated

Hello, its SRose43 with one update. I found a website that looks promising. I'll see if there is any help there. https://www.doi.gov/tribes/trace-ancestry

There is going to be a Native American Workshop on July 17, 2020 at 1 PM MDT online which will be part of the National Genealogical Society Virtual Conference. It is $35 to register. One of the presenters in this workshop is going to present a case study of the Sisseton-Wahpetona tribe. The main host is going to Lyn Rasmussen, CG who is one of the U.S./Canada Research Specialist at the Family History Library.
