The Archive Is a Living Trust
We preserve Indigenous vital records, support genealogy research, and develop the cultural registry that carries our families forward.
Records Held With Rigor and Reverence
TOOR safeguards vital statistics, family lineages, historical documentation, and oral histories as a living trust — protecting the truth of who we are and where we come from.
Our records committee reviews every request and contribution with attention to privacy, cultural protocol, and lineage verification. Members, verified descendants, and partner researchers are welcomed through clear, respectful pathways.
What Records & Genealogy Covers
From vital records to the cultural registry, our work is structured to serve families today and protect what belongs to the generations to come.
Indigenous Vital Records Preservation
We preserve births, marriages, namings, and passings as part of a living record of our people — protected with rigor and held with reverence.
Genealogical Support
Guidance for members and descendants tracing family lines — from first questions to verified lineage documentation, with care at every step.
Historical Record Documentation
Stewardship of correspondence, treaties, photographs, and tribal documentation that anchor our community's history in primary sources.
Lineage Education
Resources and guides that teach families how to read, verify, and pass down their lineage with confidence and cultural understanding.
Records Inquiry Pathways
A clear, respectful intake process for requesting records — reviewed by our records committee with attention to privacy and protocol.
Cultural Registry Development
Building a trusted registry that documents kinship, lineage, and cultural belonging — a long-term resource for our members and our nation.
Requesting Records
Members and verified descendants may request copies of records held in the foundation archive. All requests begin with a brief intake so our records committee can verify lineage, honor cultural protocol, and respond with clear next steps.
Contributing Records
If your family holds records, photographs, or oral histories you would like preserved with the foundation, we welcome conversations about contribution, custody, and access protocols — so your family's story is held safely for the long term.
