If you fill out the card instead of your spouse everyone on card will be counted as white. I hope this will help you and please have your spouse fill out the census card and mark Native American, and write OK Choctaw or MS Choctaw which ever tribe he is a member. >> This sounds a little strange to me. I mean if we list ourselves as we are: Choctaw and husband or wife that is white. But we can't do that they either have to be all white or all Choctaw? That doesn't sound right to me. If I fill out the card and list myself as Choctaw daughter as Choctaw and husband as white the whole thing will be a waste because it won't count?? I am so confused...???? Jami
