Indian population in the United States and Alaska. 1910 - RootsWeb

The Indian popula&n of the United States and of
Alaska is shown by siligle years of age ia Table 38
(p. 57). _ V . . .
In discussing the ag6 distribution of Indians it has
been thought best, however, not to attempt a de-
tailed analysis but to confine the discussion to three
age groups, those comprising persons under 20 years of
age, 20 to 50 years, and 51 years and over, representing,
respectively, the young, the intermediate, and the
oldest element of the Indian population. The ages of
Indians are doubtless reported somewhat less accurately
than those of whites, and the ages of Indian
women may perhaps be less accurately given than
those of the men, but for these broad age groups the
numbers are approximately correct for Indians of all
classes combined. The figures for the several classes
of fuU-blood and mixed-blood Indians may, however,
be affected by errors in classification or by omissions.
AU Indians.—^A comparison of the ages of the Indian
population as returned at the censuses of 1910 and
1900 is given in Table 35.
