We asked each of our respondents the following question: "Knowing about the past of which of the following four areas or groups is most important to you -- the past of your family, the past of your racial or ethnic group, the past of the community in which you now live, or the past of the United States?" The table below divides the Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux into four age groups and reports the percentage of respondents that choose the pasts listed in the far-left column.
