Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Population in the United States and Alaska: 1910 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on the Indian population of the United States and Alaska in 1910. This report furnishes detailed statistics and, wherever possible, comparative data concerning Indians, the information for 1910 being derived in part from the returns made on the general population schedule and in part from inquiries made on a special schedule as to stock and tribe and purity of blood. This special report on Indians covers the following topics: Population; proportion of mixed-bloods; sex distribution; age distribution; stocks and tribes, in detail by purity of blood, tribal mixture, sex, and age; fecundity and vitality; marital condition; school attendance; illiteracy; inability to speak English; occupations; and Indians taxed and not taxed. The report was prepared under the supervision of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population. The text and tables for the first six topics named were prepared by Dr. Roland B. Dixon, expert special agent, and the work was completed in March, 1912, and a bulletin based thereon, giving the distribution of the Indian population according to stock, tribe, blood, sex, age, and fecundity and vitality, was issued June 26, 1913. The text and tables for the remaining topics were prepared by Dr. F. A. McKenzie, expert special agent, but work on these sections of the report was discontinued in February, 1912, because of the large reduction in the Thirteenth Census temporary force, and was not resumed until May, 1914. The tabulations (except for occupations) were substantially completed prior to the suspension of the work in February, 1912, and the more recent work in 1914 consisted largely of the examination and verification of the tabulated results and the preparation of the general tables and textual matter. The completion of the entire report has necessarily been considerably delayed, but the statistics presented have a permanent historical value, as it is not likely that another effort will be made to secure through the census special data regarding Indians as a separate and distinct element of the population.
