1987 American Indian Population and Labor Force Report 1 (1987)

handle is hein.amindian/amindpl1987 and id is 1 raw text is: LOCAL ESTIMATES OF RESIDENT INDIAN POPULATION AND LABOR FORCE STATUS JANUARY 1987 INTRODUCTION Definitions & Coverage: For the purposes of this compilation the following definitions (CFR 25 par. 20.1) apply: Indian means any person who is a member, or a one-fourth degree or more blood quantum descendant of a member of any Indian tribe. Indian tribe means any Indian tribe, band, nation, rancheria, pueblo, colony, or community, including any Alaska Native village or regional/village corporation as defined in, or established pursuant to, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) (85 Stat. 688) which is federally recognized as eligible by the U.S. Government for the special programs and services provided by the Secretary to Indians because of their status as Indians. The term resident Indian means Indians living on Federal reservations or nearby who are considered part of the service population of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Nearby as defined in CFR 25 par. 20.1(r) means those areas or communities adjacent or continguous to reservations which are designated by the operation head of the Bureau upon recommendation of the local Agency Superintendent, which recommendation shall be based upon consultation with the tribal governing body of those reservations, as locales appropriate for the exten- sion of financial assistance and/or services, on the basis of such general criteria as: (1) number of Indian people native to the reservation residing in the area; (2) a written designation of the tribal governing body that members of their tribe and family members who are Indian residing in the area, are socially, culturally, and economically affiliated with their tribe and reservation; (3) geographical proximity of the area to the reservation; and (4) administrative feasibility of providing an adequate level of services to the area. Special regulations govern eligibility in Alaska and Oklahoma, as defined in CFR 25 par. 20.20. Briefly these conditions indicate that (1) the applicant must be an Indian, except that in the States of Alaska and Oklahoma a one-fourth degree or more Indian or Native blood quantum degree will be an additional eligibility requirement; and (2) the applicant must reside on or near reservation as defined in CFR 25 par. 20.1(r). In Alaska the data shown include all Alaska Natives i.e. Aleuts, Eskimos, and Indians. In Oklahoma the areas covered encompass all former reservations. Therefore, since in both states very few Indians live on actual reservations, the term nearby refers for all practical purposes to all of Alaska and Oklahoma, and the Bureau's responsibility extends in effect to the total Indian population of those States.
