Indian Census Records
The first
federal decennial census that
clearly identifies any Native
Americans is the 1860 census. The
instructions to the 1860 census
enumerators defined who was to be
counted and who was not:
Indians not taxed are not to be
enumerated. The families of Indians
who have renounced tribal rule, and
who under state or territory laws
exercise the rights of citizens, are
to be enumerated.
Most genealogy guides that address
Native Americans in the census
incorrectly state that the first
federal decennial census in which at
least a portion of the Indian
population is enumerated is 1870.
Although the 1870 census schedule is
the first to list "Indian" as a
choice in the column heading for
"Color," Native Americans were
enumerated earlier. Even though the
1860 census schedule does not
include "Indian" as a choice in the
column heading for "Color,"
enumerators nevertheless followed
the instructions cited in the
previous paragraph and recorded more
than 40,000 Indians.
