United States Census Bureau (2016). 2010 US Census of Population and Housing: Summary File 1: PCT1. American Indian and Alaska Native Alone with One Tribe Reported for Selected Tribes | Country: USA | Description*: Total Tribes Tallied, 2010. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 001-045-251. Dataset: Presents a count of responses of those within the United States population who identified themselves as “American Indian or Alaska Native” on the race question and no other race. Counts are presented for total tribes tallied and by enrolled or principal tribe(s) for those who reported one or more tribal affiliations, and for American Indian or Alaska Native race for those who did not specify one enrolled or principal tribe. The US Census Bureau collects race and Hispanic origin information following the United States Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) standards for collecting and tabulating data on race and ethnicity, issued in 1997. Tribal data reflect the written entries reported on the census questionnaires. Some of the entries represent reservations or a confederation of tribes on a reservation. The information on tribe is based on self-identification and, therefore, does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. The information for the 2010 Census was derived from the American Indian or Alaska Native Tribal Classification List for Census 2000 and updated from 2002 to 2009 based on the annual Federal Register notice entitled Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by OMB, and through consultation with American Indian or Alaska Native communities and leaders. The American Indian categories shown in Summary File 1 represent tribal groupings, which refer to the combining of individual American Indian tribes, such as Fort Sill Apache, Mescalero Apache, and San Carlos Apache, into the general Apache tribal grouping. The Alaska Native categories shown in Summary Files 1 also represent tribal groupings, which refer to the combining of individual Alaska Native tribes, such as King Salmon Tribe, Native Village of Kanatak, and Sunaq Tribe of Kodiak, into the general Aleut tribal grouping. Not specified includes responses of those who checked “American Indian or Alaska Native” on the race questions but did not write in tribe, along with responses of those who wrote in “American Indian” or “Alaska Native.” Detailed information on the racial classifications used by the Census Bureau is provided in Appendix B of the Summary File 1 Technical Documentation. Detailed information on the tribal groupings used by the Census Bureau is provided in Appendix F of the technical documentation. The US Census Bureau’s Summary File 1 (SF1) presents data from the 2010 decennial Census of Population and Housing. The US Census counts every resident in the US every 10 years, as mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution. The data collected by the decennial census are used to determine the number of seats each state has in the US House of Representatives and to allocate federal funds to local communities. The SF1 contains 100 percent of data asked of all people and about every housing unit at the national and subnational levels. SF1 is released as individual files for each of the 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, and for the nation. The tables (matrices) are identical for all files, but the geographic coverage differs. For detailed information on geocoding in this dataset, please see the Technical Documentation. Note that mapping may not be available for all subnational geographies.
