Aleut Population Census To Be Taken
The Bureau of the Census, re
sponding to the urging of Gover
nor William A. Egan, says it plans
to make a special count and tabu
lation of Alaska’s Aleuts and Es
kimos and their characteristics.
Richard M. Scammon, bureau di
rector, said the material would be
published in 1962 upon completion
of the standard compilation pre
pared for all States.
The assurance followed protest
by Governor Egan that publications
issued in connection with the 1960
census provided population statis
tics as to Alaska’s Indian popula
tion, but made no mention of the
Eskimo or Aleut races.
Noting that previous censuses
have identified the Eskimo and
Aleut races, Egan said the ab
sence of such information “pre
sents a considerable problem for
the obtaining of sufficient informa
tion ... for 'any type of planning
and research.”
“Besides the lack of historical
continuity,” the Governor said “the
current use of the 1960 figures is
greatly limited. Detail by age and
sex for Election Districts and cities
is needed for the public health pro
gram education, welfare and many
others. The Bureau of Indian Af
fairs has great need for such infor
mation in its programs.”
In reply, Scammon said the data
to be published in 1962 would in
clude a separate count for Aleuts
and Eskimos as well as a separate
tabulation of the basic demo
graphic characteristics—age, sex,
relationship to head of household,
and marital status—for Aleuts, Es
kimos, Indians and other non
whites in Alaska.
Soammon said a figure of 28,
637 persons in the 1960 census re
ports for Alaska identified as “all
others” would include primarily
Aleuts and Eskimos. This would
compare with enumeration of 3,892
Aleuts and 15,882 Eskimos—a total
of 19,774—shown in the 1950 cen
sus. The Indian population in
creased during the same period
from 14,089 in 1950 to 14,444 in
1960.

ber of Aleuts and Eskimos,” the

ing 6 lbs., was born on July 23 to

A daughter, Georgann Nadine,
weighing 7 lbs. 3 ozs., was born on
July 26 to Leona Nadine and Paul
T. Halchak, RM1, USN.
Census Bureau official said, “may
be due, in part, to more complete
coverage in tihe 1960 Census, par
ticularly in the rural areas of
Alaska.
Improved means of transporta
tion and increased efforts to
achieve complete coverage prob
ably have resulted in a more com
plete enumeration of the popula
tion in 1960 than in previous cen
suses.”
