Scope and Contents
Letter from Jim Red Corn, the Needs Assessment Coordinator at the Native American Center in Oklahoma, to Jumita Kreps, the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce. The letter discusses concerns about the validity of the 1980 Census data for the Native American population in Oklahoma. It suggests that Indians live in pockets rather than in a scattered manner, which could affect the accuracy of the census count. The letter also proposes that a supplementary questionnaire be sent to all individuals who indicate they are Indian on the general questionnaire to ensure a more accurate count. The text also includes a table showing the population of Native Americans in different counties in Oklahoma based on the 1970 Census.
