content: Consists of responses to a circular distributed by John Wesley Powell as part of an investigation by Mooney in the spring of 1889.  The circular requested data about 1) place names of Indian origin; 2) archaeological remains; 3) individuals and groups of Indian descent; 4) local people able to supply additional information. Most responses are on forms. A few letters are included, some concerning later inquiries by Mooney. There are also a few notes and some unrelated documents, including a list of pallbearers for the funeral of Albert S. Gatschet.  The responses are arranged by state.
