Preferred term

Native American children and families  

Definition(s)

  • Native Americans are a rapidly growing, relatively young, geographically dispersed and culturally heterogeneous population. Out of the more than 280 million Americans, approximately 2.5 million people identify themselves solely as American Indian/Alaska Native, but when including those who consider themselves part American Indian or part Alaska Native, the number grows to 4.1 million.
