The above PEARSON family was not living among any of the five tribes, in Indian Territory-now Oklahoma, during the crucial years of 1890-1906 so connection to any of them will not be, more than likely, provable via records of said tribes. I would suggest you turn your research efforts to locating birth, death, marriage, and land records.
