Abstract:

While the number of Indian residents is sufficiently large, the Public Health Statistics Branch typically reports data for whites and nonwhites only. At the request of the North Carolina Commission for Indian Affairs, an analysis was done on race-specific birth and mortality data. The results show that vital characteristics of Indians are different when compared to white and black populations.
