Census: American Indian Reservations Growing

"According to 2000 census figures, American Indian reservations across the country are burgeoning ? even in the West, where vast rural stretches are losing people.Experts and tribal officials say many areas are getting a boost from Indians returning to jobs and wealth provided by ubiquitous tribal casinos, and others seeking to rekindle their heritage. Still others return to family and familiar surroundings after struggling financially and culturally off the reservation."
