Study of Red Men in Indian Life Lesson
The article summarizes a Scholastic report taught in junior and senior English classes. It notes population shifts from about one million at discovery to around 335,000 in the United States today, with 85 percent living on 68 reservations in 35 states. Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, South Dakota, and California house the largest populations, with Navajo Sioux and Chippewa the major tribes. The Indian Reorganization Act shields reservations from further allotments and allows tribal organization for welfare and business. It funds $250,000 annually for reimbursable loans to support vocational and technical training for young Indians.
