* Navajo is chosen as the reference category because it is the largest tribe.
Note: These rates are not necessarily of only one reservation. These data include American Indian multiracials and Hispanic American Indians, but exclude the foreign born. Odds control for gender, age, marital status, number of children, veteran status, disability, facility with English, educational attainment, and urbanicity. Tribes where the change in likelihood is not statistically significant are indicated as having a 0 percent change.
