content: In 1867 the Delaware moved from Kansas to the Cherokee Reservation, Indian Territory. Those involved in the move became known as the Delaware (registered) or the Delaware (Cherokee). The others became known as the Delaware (absentee). "Registered" and "absentee" are not aboriginal terms.

Taken while on a trip to California. Mrs Ellis is the daughter of a Shawnee man (Snakeman), who lived on the Little River, and a Delaware woman of the Absentee Delawares; she married Belo Ellis (d. February 28, 1947 at age 65) in 1917 and has lived among the Anadarko Delaware ever since. She has been Ives Goddard's principal informant at Anadarko, 1966 to present (1970). She was born in 1901.
