Answers to census questions can be found at: http://www.ncidc.org/census/census.html Fill out the census and win your own bureaucracy By DAVE BARRY Unless you are hiding in a drain pipe, by now you should have received your census questionnaire from the federal government. The census is a federal tradition dating back to 1790, when President Washington ordered all citizens to form a line and count off by ones, thus establishing that the U.S. population at that time was ``eleventeen.'' In modern times, the census is taken by the Census Bureau every 10 years, as required by the Constitution. (For the other nine years, Census Bureau employees play pinochle while remaining on Red Alert, in case the Constitution suddenly changes.) How important is the census to us today? Here's a quote from a letter my household received from Kenneth Prewitt, director of the Census Bureau: ``Huwag ninyong sasagutin ang Inggles na form na inyong tatanggapin sa koreo.'' I did not make this quote up. More than half of Mr. Prewitt's letter to my household is written in various foreign languages. As far as I can tell, in this particular quote Mr. Prewitt is saying: ``Anybody who gets sausage and eggs on the census form will end up (something bad) in South Korea.'' This is not a threat that the federal government makes lightly. Why is the census so important? For one thing, it enables the government to locate its citizens so it can administer programs to them. The census also determines our congressional representation, which is very important. For example, in the 1990 census, a homeowner named Ward A. Frondflinger Jr. of Lawrence, Kan., left his census form out on the dining-room table, and unbeknownst to him, his children filled it out and mailed it in, with the information that his household had 984 million members. Today, the Frondflingers are personally represented by 12 congresspersons and five U.S. senators, and they have their own naval base. Contrast their situation with that of North Dakota, which, because of poor participation with the 1990 census, wound up reporting that it had a total of only seven residents (the actual number is believed to be much closer to nine). As a result, today North Dakota has zero representatives in Congress and may no longer even be part of the United States. (Somebody should go up there and check.) So the ``bottom line'' is that it is in your best interest, as a citizen, to fill out your census form. Here's some information to help you: Q. What kinds of questions does the census form ask? A. Most citizens will receive the short form, which asks you only for basic information that the government needs to administer programs to you, such as your name, age, sex, race, weight and whether or not you wear thong underwear. Q. What if I get the long form? A. You had better know something about calculus. Q. Is my census information confidential? A. Absolutely. Nobody is allowed to see your personal census information except federal employees and their friends. Q. What are my choices regarding my race? A. You may choose from any of the following federally approved races: Black, White, Beige, Blush, Bisque, Asian, Latino, Caucasian, Person of Color, African-American, Native American Indian, Spaniard, Original Hawaiian, Asian Minor, Native Alaskan, Person of Density, Indian Indian from India, Caucasian-Asian Hawaiian, Hispano-African-Alaskan Native Indian, Ohioan, Native Hawaiian Tourist, Munchkin, Italian Samoan, Wisenheimer and Presbyterian. Or, if you prefer, you may invent your own race, and the government will create a large bureaucracy to keep track of you. Q. Why does the government need this information? A. That is none of your business. Q. I have an imaginary friend named Mr. Wookins. Should I include him on my census form? A. Of course. The federal government spends billions of dollars on imaginary programs; these must be targeted to reach the people who really need them. Q. Is there a place on the census form where I can tell the government how much I hate these stupid low-flow toilets? A. The government has provided margins for this express purpose. Q. What will happen to me if I fail to complete the census form? A. In the words of Census Director Prewitt, ``Matatanggap ninyo ang Tagalog na census form sa loob ng dalawang linggo.'' Q. Can he DO that? A. Do not tempt him. -- André Cramblit, Operations Director The Northern California Indian Development Council ( http://www.ncidc.org ) NCIDC is a non-profit organization that helps meet the social, educational, and economic development needs of American Indian communities.

http://www.ncidc.org/census/census.html will direct you to more census information WASHINGTON (AP) - Confronting American Indians' historic feelings of wariness or anger toward the federal government, the Census Bureau is seeking help from tribal leaders and residents on reservations to ensure they get a more accurate count of the Indian population. Hiring more American Indians to ask questions and get answers from those living on their own reservations may not completely erase those feelings, but the Census Bureau and advocacy groups hope it will give them a clearer picture of their population and open better lines of communication. In 1990, the Census Bureau estimates it missed about 4.5 percent of the American Indian population; the national rate was 1.6 percent. More alarming to the National Congress of American Indians is that an estimated 12.2 percent of all Indians living on reservations were missed. On the 17 million-acre Navajo Nation reservation that sprawls across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, about one in eight Navajos were not counted in 1990. And the tribe is determined not to let that happen again. Part of the problem in Navajo country and other reservations was that census workers in 1990 were relying on outdated maps, and may have been unaware of tribal customs, said Jack Jackson Jr., director of governmental affairs for the National Congress of American Indians. ``We've created an alliance with the Census Bureau where the Navajo nation has profound control over the count, by way of hiring our own Navajo people to go out and enumerate, and the maps for enumeration were created by Navajo chapters,'' said Mellor Willie, spokesman for tribal president Kelsey Begaye. The Navajo government estimates there are about 250,000 Navajos today. Willie said the Navajos missed out on $110 million in federal funding in the 1990s because of the undercount. ``I don't think a lot of Navajo people within the last census count knew this was helping in their communities,'' Willie said. To counter that, the Census Bureau sought more input from tribal governments five years ago , said Tom Beavers, partnership specialist for the regional census center in Kansas City, Mo. ``When we hire now, we want to hire people who live in their own communities to work in their own communities, and we have told Indian leaders in our communities that,'' said Beavers, himself an American Indian, who in his job works with reservations in Oklahoma and Minnesota. ``The tribes know how important it is to get a good census,'' he said. He noted that the temporary census jobs also help with unemployment rates that tend to be higher on reservations. Federal programs distributed to American Indians based on census data include the Native American Employment and Training Programs, grants to local education agencies for Indian education, and family violence prevention and services. Meanwhile, some tribes are donating money to help promote the census. The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe gave a $30,000 grant to the city of Mount Pleasant, Mich., for such a cause. Saginaw Chippewa spokesman Frank Cloutier said his reservation suffered a 33 percent undercount in 1990. ``We attribute it to unawareness, and naturally concern with people of having anything to do with the federal government,'' he said. ``Now that relationship is very positive and growing.'' Not everything has gone smoothly though. Earlier this month, leaders on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana threatened to arrest census workers after complaints that local census managers failed to keep him informed of hiring decisions and other business on the reservation. Gene Grant, census liaison for the Blackfeet tribe, rescinded that order and said things have worked more smoothly since then. Others like Brenda Boyd, census liaison for the Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa in Onamia, Minn., complain that at times, there is too much red tape in getting simple answers from regional census officials. Everyone agrees, though, that they are better off than in 1990. ``This census is much better. Last time, the count was way off,'' Boyd said. -- André Cramblit, Operations Director The Northern California Indian Development Council ( http://www.ncidc.org ) NCIDC is a non-profit organization that helps meet the social, educational, and economic development needs of American Indian communities.

Mr. Cramblit, While I realize that the census is important, as it is every 10 years, I am becoming irritated by the constant emails telling us to sign on as Indians. I think most people got it the first 5 times you emailed your opinions. Let people fill out their forms the way they want to, and when they want to. I dont need any more email telling me what to do.

Greetings. Attempted to post a photograph of a NA to this list, but Roots.Web refused it. Have a picture of a male NA taken about 1830-80 in the Baltimore Washington area. This was found in a large collection of family photographs that I am restoring. I wonder if someone could look at this photograph and see if there are any clues in clothing, articles of apparel, etc. that might help identify the man's tribe, nation, or anything else. If you are interested, please contact me privately so I can forward to you. Many thanks, Joe.

----- Original Message ----- From: Faith Blount To: ARTHUR List ; WV List ; Webster County List ; Braxton County List Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2000 11:43 PM Subject: Daniel Leander Arthur? Anyone ever heard of Daniel Leander Arthur? I have proof of my ggrandfather being Lee Anderson Arthur according to death records, but... was told by a family member today that his daughter had written out this name along with his children and wife's name. So I am just checking all of my leads. b. 12Nov1863 d. 31Jan1946 It is also possible he is half Cherokee Indian. Could Leander be an original last name? That might have been changed to Arthur? These are just leads I am following up on. Thanks in advance for any help. Faith blount@digital.net

Hi, There seemed to be some confusion on another list that I had also sent this article. I did not write it. I found it from surfing the net.
