Why is it difficult to answer how many Native Americans live in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Students should state that this question has several answers, partly because of the social and subjective nature of race and group membership. The U.S. government and individual tribes have defined the status of "Indian" in different ways. Sometimes those definitions have been based on specific percentages of "Indian blood." Other times the government has defined Indian status broadly, even including individuals who joined tribal communities through marriage. The answer also varies because of the way the Census Bureau collects information. As with other racial and ethnic groups, the Census Bureau's categories for Native Americans have changed over time.
