In 2011 the NYTimes ran an excellent series on the Freedmen. Here's a link to Tiya Miles contribution to the discussion. http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2011/09/15/tribal-sovereignty-vs-racial-justice/wjy-the-freedmen-fight

Some years prior to the series in the NYT, Scott Lyons (Leech Lake Ojibwe) wrote a very good piece on disenrollment of Freedman, in which he said (and I agree) that disenrolling African Americans was/is an act of ethnic cleansing.
