Once you find your ancestor on the Dawes Roll you can go to the tribal office and see what has been submitted on this person.

There are no guarantees that you will be admitted to the tribe. The don't admit everyone so don't get disappointed. They will tell you what documents you need to file and then they will decide.

If your ancestor is not on the dawes then its not likely that you will be accepted.

In other words its tough to get accepted to the tribe whether you have all the documentation or not.

Good luck

Just did a quick google search on "Dawes roll online" and came up with

There are probably many others...do the google search yourself and examine the hundreds of hits.
