Indians in the Northern Great Plains. Anticipated socio-economic impacts of coal development

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7314096
The purpose of the presentation is to place emphasis on the importance of Indian land and people resources in the Northern Great Plains and to show some of the impacts on Indian resources associated with coal development. This paper does not comprise a total study of the impacts of coal development on the reservation population, but is one part of a continued research effort toward that end. Statistics and analyses of the six reservations most affected by coal development are given for: population numbers, age composition, labor force and employment, the Indian family and income, and education levels. The six reservations are the Crow, Ft. Peck, Northern Cheyenne, Cheyenne River, Fort Berthold and Standing Rock. Anticipated socio-economic impacts of the Crow projections are covered in more detail.
