This study, funded by the Fannie Mae Foundation, is a collaborative effort that began in 1999. The research was spearheaded by the Center for Urban Policy Research, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, with assistance from the National American Indian Housing Council and First Nations Development Institute.

There are three principal authors. Juliet King wrote ; and David Listokin wrote all or large portions of the remaining chapters and the appendices.

Many others contributed to the research and writing, including Scott Bruton (); and Julie Silva (appendix B). Other contributors include Bemie Jamroz, Michael Johnson, and Valerie Seneca. We owe a debt of gratitude to these individuals.

Research on the Navajo Nation was aided through the invaluable assistance of Lorenzo Bedonie (Navajo Nation Council Delegate), Richard Kontz (Navajo Partnership for Housing), Anthony Perry (Navajo Division of Economic Development), Marilyn Watson (Navajo Housing Authority), and Leta ODaniel. These individuals extended warm hospitality to and shared their invaluable knowledge with the research team.

Shannon Darroch, John Derasmo, and Layla Rezvan helped word process a most difficult manuscript that went through many drafts.

A special debt of gratitude is owed to Catherine Liapes who edited the study from its inception in 1999. Her dedication to her craft significantly improved the readability, consistency, and accuracy of the final product.

The Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development has studied the influence of tribal governance and tribal institutions at length and has made seminal contributions in this area. The Harvard Project generously made available to our research team data on tribal governance and institutions. We thank the following members of the Harvard Project: Stephen Cornell (also at the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, University of Arizona), Miriam R. Jorgensen, and Jonathan B. Taylor.

We are grateful to Kristopher Rengert of the Fannie Mae Foundation for his guidance and patient stewardship of the project. Patrick Simmons of the Fannie Mae Foundation also gave valuable recommendations, as did three anonymous outside readers. Finally, we thank many unnamed Native Americans as well as numerous nonprofit agencies, lending institutions, and other groups who shared their time and expertise.

A note on the timing of the study is in order. When the investigation began in 1999, data from the 2000 census were not available. Over time, that information was released and we attempted to incorporate as much of the new census data as possible. However, some of the work included in the current study reflects the situation as of 1999when the 2000 census data on Indian country was still years away.

Our case study investigation of the Navajo Nation began in the late 1990s. Our fieldwork there ended in 2001. As such, there is inevitable dating in some of our reporting on the Navajo Nation. More broadly, the situation of tribal areas throughout the United States is evolving, so our study must be viewed as a snapshot of Indian country in the early 2000s.

The authors assume all responsibility for the above described and all other shortcomings.

This study explores the history and the land, population, economic, and housing characteristics of Indian country (also called tribal areas or tribal lands).1 For the purpose of our investigation, Indian country includes reservations, Alaska Native villages, and other census-recognized areas of historical Native American settlement and tribal culture. We seek to better understand and analyze the constraints to housing and economic development in Indian country and to consider strategies for addressing those constraints. The study also identifies, uses, and evaluates data sources germane to the study of housing and economic development on tribal lands. Our major findings follow.

Population Profile

In 2000, approximately 895,000 Native Americans lived in Indian country, accounting for 36 percent of all Native Americans in the United States (approximately 2,476,000). An additional 608,000 Native Americans, or 25 percent of this racial group, lived near Indian country (i.e., in the remainder of the county surrounding a tribal area). Thus, about six in ten Native Americans live either on or near tribal lands. Additionally, the growth of the Native American population in Indian country (21 percent) and its environs (32 percent) during the 1990s represented some of the fastest gains of all areas of Native American settlement in the United States.
On average, Native Americans compose only a small share of the population of Indian country. In 2000, Native Americans in tribal lands (895,000) constituted only one-sixth of the total population of Indian country, which, at 5,483,000, exceeded the population of 34 states and accounted for approximately 2 percent of the total population of the United States (281,422,000).
