Indians and Whites Mix Rapidly in War Era
Berkeley California. Prof S E Cook of the University of California reports in Human Biology that California Indians increasingly mix with white Americans. Most tribes were not confined to reservations and have merged into dense populations. Over 12 percent now live in predominantly white areas with a rise linked to 1930s mood and wartime work. Indian men largely wed within their group while many Indian women marry outside and relocate to agricultural and industrial centers.
