Only half of Navajo Nation has cell phone. Yes, I know that's not the only tribal nation but it's the biggest in size and citizenship.

So basically, sampling was based on phone ownership which may also have classed implications for understandings of identity.

It isn't a secret there's quite often a positive relationship between assimilation and classed mobility.

~95% of Native American adults have landline or cell access in their HHs, and over 50% are cell-onlyhttp://wapo.st/1WE6KTB
-
If you've spent any time in Indian country, you'd doubt that number. Where does the 95% come from?
@PostPolls -
the National Health Interview Survey http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/

"Cherokee and Navajo members accounted for the largest share..." Look up how many people in Navajo Nation have phones,
@PostPolls. -
Hey, so, have you had a moment to look up the percentage of people in the Navajo Nation that have phones?
@PostPolls -
I'm still like huh Washington Post decided to tell people how not racist this incredibly racist team name is
-
We'd be wrong to solely understand the WaPo Washington team name poll/story as a solitary act. There's a history that got us here.

@PostPolls part of me wonders who they were contacting. I mean, I know a person who is 1/16th Native Am and checks it on forms. -
here is the full questionnaire: http://wapo.st/1OOyZMn and details on the methods:http://wapo.st/1WE6KTB

@EmGusk at least not in the links I saw. -
We released the methodology at the same time as the poll. Interviews were cell and landline.
-
also, was each participant simply self IDed as Native? That seems like a problem for a host of reasons.
-
Self-ID is a starting point – tribal enrollment is important, which is why the poll also measured it (2)
-
I appreciate you spending time to explain more. I think more than many other racial groups many ID as Native who aren't read...
-
as Native American and who are even only a small percentage Native by ancestry.
