With special thanks to the New Mexico Human Services Department for their support in publishing this report and to the Annie E. Casey Foundation for supporting the New Mexico KIDS COUNT Project. Any data errors are the sole responsibility of New Mexico Voices for Children (www.nmvoices.org).

*The Census Bureau defines “linguistic isolation” as no family member older than 14 years old who speaks English well. Percentages are of linguistically isolated children where at least some members speak a non-English language.

In late 2007, New Mexico Voices for Children (NMVC) became aware that there were errors in this publication. Although not numerous, there were enough to prompt NMVC to produce an amended version. The original publication used data from the 2000 Census and corrections were made using that same data. The tables and charts in this version are in the same format as in the original. Most of the substance of the narrative portion remains, although some edits were necessary. NMVC apologizes for any inconvenience that may have resulted from the errors.

Introduction

In 2003, New Mexico Voices for Children (NMVC) produced a report entitled Minority/Majority: A Profile of New Mexico’s Children, which highlighted the diversity of the child population in New Mexico. In fact, the Native-American population in New Mexico comprises 10.5 percent of the total population.1 This constitutes the third highest proportion of Native Americans in the United States.2

There are 22 tribal communities in New Mexico. The 19 pueblos are spread across eight counties, with a combined land mass of 2.11 million acres.3 The Mescalero and Jicarilla Apache tribes are in three counties – Rio Arriba, Sandoval, and Otero.4 The Navajo Nation encompasses parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah and approximately 39 percent of Navajo people reside in New Mexico.5 For the purposes of this report, only data for Navajo communities in New Mexico is used.

Using the 2000 Census

The Census is the most comprehensive source of data available for all populations within the United States. It uses consistent definitions and measures, and its data can be compared across communities. Census data can be accessed at www.census.gov.

To review how NMVC obtained the figures presented within this publication, see the appendix entitled A Note on Sources.

Populations in these communities range from less than 2000 individuals at Picuris Pueblo to more than 70,000 people living on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. Each community has different access to services and is variously affected by rural and geographic issues.

1 Census 2000. 2 Ibid. Alaska’s Native American population is 19 percent of its total population and Oklahoma’s is 11.5 percent. 3 See page 9.4 See page 9. 5 Census 2000.

Highlights of this report include:

• Children under the age of 18 represent 39.3 percent of the Native-American population.

• Nearly 40 percent of all Native-American children live under the federal poverty level. Among white, non-Hispanic children, this rate is 12 percent.

• The median income of Native-American families is half that of white, non-Hispanics in New Mexico.

A Note on Sources

This report relies on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, which is available at www.census.gov. Specifically, data are derived from Census 2000’s Summary File 4 of the American Fact Finder data sets. The geography used for all pueblos, Apache tribes, and Navajo chapters is “American Indian Area/Alaska Native Area/Hawaiian Home Land.” The population groups used were either “Total population” or “American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination with one or more other races.”

The geography used for the Navajo Nation in New Mexico is “American Indian Area/Alaska Native Area/Hawaiian Home Land (or part).” This option is obtained through the link titled “Show major geography types only,” from which the user can then select the desired state. The population groups used are the same as for the groups above.

The precise tables used are as follows:
