Hi, about all this census back & forth...the census is mailed out to everyone, you can indicate your race. The only follow up done out here in Calif, is if you dont mail it back, hey will call or come to your home.I am 1/8 American Indian, with out a roll number, and I have every right to state that I am of american Indian decent, as much as those with roll numbers..and I will do as such. Its one of the things I can do to support our people, I am Chickasaw. Some of us cannot be registered because our ancestors missed the rolls, not my fault. Are we non registered American Indians not your brothers still?? Sometimes you have to do the right thing, and I feel I am doing the right thing..my family has been silent way too long abt who we are!!!!!
