In addition to the new material hereby published, the five earlier volumes have been reprinted, as they have long been difficult to find. They have been reprinted in their entirety except that in Volume IV, a 1928 edition of Title 25 of the United States Code has been omitted, as have duplicate indexes to Volumes I, II and III. Since the current edition of Title 25 is reasonably accessible, reprinting such an outdated version did not seem useful. The indexes to Volumes I, II and III are included in their respective volumes.

Federal regulations relating to Indians, which the 1968 statute directed to be published, are not included in these volumes. Because of their need for frequent revision, they have been published separately in a paperbound volume entitled Supplement to Kappler's Indian Affairs, Laws and Treaties; Compiled Federal Regulations Relating to Indians.

The new volumes were prepared in the Office of the Solicitor under the direction of Deputy Solicitors Raymond C. Coulter and David E. Lindgren. Substantial contributions were made by M. Frances Ayer, Peter S. Taylor, Thomas Viall, Janet Lang, Nicholas Goschy, Sarah Jo Rowland, Bobbie Jean Ware, Kathleen Johnson, Gilbert Hall and Anita Vogt.
