A specially constructed Native American Identity Questionnaire was distributed to women imprisoned in the Ohio Reformatory for Women (ORW) in Marysville, Ohio. More than 40% of the women responding to the questionnaire consider themselves to be, at least in part, Native American. These data conflict with official ORW demographic statistics, which drastically underestimate the number of Native Americans within the institution. Possible consequences of the underestimation of Native Americans in the official statistics are discussed.
