Jordan replies: Regarding the above, Rez/Trust Land data was noted
as coming from the BIA/Dept. of Interior and the pop. count as coming from
the '90 Census. It was simply a transmission of what I hope was "fact."
While such is often incomplete, hence misleading, I am wondering if that
was the case here.
If the data is wrong as "specifically" listed, I would very much
appreciate advice. And, I am troubled by the comment "Now, I realize more
than the list was misleading..."
Peace...Jordan
