Daily AncestorIndian schedule
The Indian schedule was a special census form for American Indian households, used in 1900 and 1910, with extra columns such as tribe, Indian name and citizenship.
In 1900 the Indian Population schedule repeated the general questions and added the Indian name, tribe of the person and of each parent, fraction of white blood, whether taxed, year citizenship was gained, whether through an allotment, and whether the home was movable or fixed. 1910 had its own Indian schedule too.
An earlier Indian division form of 1880 survives only for a few tribes in Washington Territory, Dakota Territory and California. In 1930 a supplemental schedule for Indian population was used.
