Not sure as to the actual numbers but military service is a strong tradition among that ethnic group.

"Report: Native American Trackers to Hunt Terrorists at Afghan Border
Monday, March 12, 2007

"An world-reknowned elite group of Native American trackers used by the U.S. Customs to hunt down Mexican drug and people smugglers reportedly is joining the hunt for terrorists crossing Afghanistan’s borders, where Usama bin Laden has been known to hide."

There are so few left in this country that it's hard to say. The Native Americans, or Indians as they're so "lovingly" called, may be the first human race to actually become extinct. Sad.

The Native American Indians are mostly dead. They only make up 1.2% of the american population.

My grandmother was full blood. My children will never be considered Native American Indian by this country.
