RACAMIND
Race: American Indian or Alaska Native
Return to Race, Ethnicity, and Nativity variables list

Description

RACAMIND is a bivariate indicator of whether a person's race or races include "American Indian or Alaska Native." In recent years, a single-race American Indian respondent's enrolled or principal tribe can be identified using the detailed version of RACE.

Beginning in 2000, individuals were allowed to report multiple races, so RACAMIND and the other bivariate race indicators (RACASIAN, RACBLK, RACOTHER, RACPACIS, and RACWHT) are not mutually exclusive in 2000 and later years. The number of reported races is given in RACNUM.
