This new 1932 Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux Census contains over 8000 names listing sex, date of birth and age at last birthday, degree of blood, marital status (in most cases the wife's maiden name) and relationship to head of family along with the jurisdiction where they were enrolled and if they were a ward to the head of household. Also included is the allotment and annuity numbers. In 1996, the 1924 to 1932 Oglala Sioux Pine Ridge Birth and Death rolls were published by this author which has long been out of print. Now, after 24 years this 1932 Census has been transcribed as Book 1 that will go along with the original Birth and Death Records covering over 4500 names to be re-published as Book 2. An addition to this census and the forthcoming Birth and Death Rolls you will find a few early pre-1932 photographs from the Pine Ridge Reservation included in both books.
