Choctaw Menominee Tohomo O’Odham

SPEAKER NOTES: Why does the census only list 36 categories? What about other tribes?
These are the top 35 American Indian tribal groupings; and see next slide for Alaska Native tribes/tribal groupings. There was a national threshold of 7,000 established in order for data for detailed groups to be shown in Census 2000 data products. The threshold was based on 1990 census results. Many of the individual American Indian and Alaska Native tribes will not meet this threshold, so in an effort to provide some data by tribes census used the tribal group in concept that was used in the 1990 census. Persons reporting other tribes are included in “All other categories” in Summary File 1. Additional detailed data will be available in a separate report on American Indians that will be released later.
