(Washington, DC) This report focuses on demographic, social and economic characteristics of the American Indian and Alaska Native population in the United States and the District of Columbia. The term "American Indian or Alaska Native" according to the U.S. Census Bureau, refers to people having origins in any of the original people of North, Central and South America who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. Americans Indians and Alaska Natives make up less than one percent of the total U.S. population but represent half the languages and cultures in the nation, as historic records show. These two racial groups include over 500 different tribal groupings and reflect great diversity of geographic location, language, socioeconomic conditions, and retention of traditional spiritual and cultural practices.
