- Summary:
-
A survey conducted by 8 University of Minnesota students was taken in the urban slum of Minneapolis. The survey was concerned with the contemporary situation of urban American Indians and with the attitudes of local businessmen toward urban Indians. The method used involved recording respondent's answers, and much of the content of the respondent's answers are reported in the form of direct quotes. Respondents were selected from a representative sample of establishments in the area--public agencies, religious agencies, thrift shops, retail stores, and gas stations. Questions were based on the instructor's questions, and the data are presented in analyzed form. In evaluating the study, it was concluded that the respondents voiced what they believed the interviewers wanted to hear. This suspicion was based on 2 observations: (1) Many answers were qualified in such a way as to contradict the basic response, and many ambiguities made it difficult to understand what the respondents felt. Many responses seemed to be given with an attitude of caution and lack of thought or interest, although a statistical summary of the responses was attempted. (2) The experiences of the informants with American Indians appeared to be extremely minimal. The only contact seemed to be through the buying-selling relationship. From this fact, it was assumed that much of the responses were based on hearsay and personally untested ideological opinions. (FF)
