The Census provides two different ways for respondents
to indicate their heritage. The method shown here pertains to Asians,
American Indians and Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians
and Pacific Islanders, and persons of Hispanic ethnicity. As a
part of the race and ethnicity questions on the short form of
the 2000 Census, members of these groups were asked to indicate
one or more categories of racial or ethnic origin. In the case
of Americans Indians and Alaskan Natives, respondents were given
the opportunity to identify their affiliation with one or more
tribes.
