Description
The modified schedule used to enumerate American Indians in 1900 and 1910 contained a field labeled "Whether now living in polygamy." Enumerator instructions stated "If the Indian man is living with more than one wife, write 'Yes' in this column; otherwise, write 'No'."
Although the question is from the perspective of household heads, wives in polygamous households can be identified in RELATE (polygamous wives have a RELATE code of 202).
