The Guion Miller Roll is a roll created by the US government between 1906 and 1911 to document Eastern Cherokee people, for the purposes of distributing money paid as restitution for the violation of treaties.
[1] In 1902, Congress authorized the U.S. Court of Claims to began hearing cases related to the violation of Cherokee treaties.
The roll was compiled by Interior Department Special Commissioner Guion Miller.
[2] The Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB) use the Guion Miller Roll and the Dawes Rolls in order to determine eligibility for tribal citizenship.
The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians only uses the Baker Roll to determine eligibility for tribal citizenship.
