1. A Historical Perspective Of Americans Of Asian Indian Origin
   A historical perspective of americans of asian indian origin 1790 1997 Srirajasekhar Bobby Koritala This is a brief historical perspective of americans of asian indian origin.  
   http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~seetala/India/Articles/article001.html
   
   Extractions: Srirajasekhar Bobby Koritala Introduction The Pioneers Coming to America The Riots ... References This is a brief historical perspective of Americans of Asian Indian origin. Having immigrated from India to the USA, I have developed a curiosity about people like myself who have moved to "Amerika". For a long time I hardly knew anything about "Indians in America". Frankly, I didn't care to know. After all I was just a student in the USA who wanted to get a great education and return home to India. But circumstances changed and I decided to become an immigrant to the USA. It was at this point that I wondered about the Indian immigrants who had come before me and made similar decisions to stay. I'd always assumed that Indians never really came to the USA until the 1960s. However, I remembered vaguely, from my high school history lessons, that there had been a group of Indian expatriates who had formed a party, called the "Ghadhar Party", in the USA to assist in India's struggle for freedom from British colonial dominion. So I had an inkling that there was more to the story than I knew. Well, the experience of researching and learning about the history of Indian immigration to the USA has been enlightening, to say the least. Mind-blowing is more like it! I had no idea. I've wanted to share this knowledge with people and that's why I've written this perspective. I don't really have the time to write in more detail, so please forgive the brief nature of this document. I have included some references at the end and I strongly encourage interested persons to look them up.

Many came to the state in order to take advantage of employment and social opportunities. However, several thousand Asians and Asian-Americans arrived in the state by force during the internment camp period of the 1940s. Today, Asian and Asian-American influence can readily be found in many towns of the Delta where generations of families have helped to develop the area. This section tells the story of the Chinese and Japanese who came to the state in the 1800s and 1900s.

"One obvious factor for the growth in the Indian-American community is the importing of hi-tech workers." From 1987 through 1997, on average about 35,000 Indians immigrated permanently to the United States annually. This does not include those who obtained high-skilled H-1B visas to work in the United States for up to six years. INS data for the period from May 1998 through July 1999 shows that of 134,000 new H-1B visas granted, nearly half, or 63,900, went to people from India. According to an estimate provided by the Immigration Support Network, a lobby group that works in the interests of H1-B workers, last year there were approximately 400,000 Asian Indian hi-tech visa holders in the U.S.

    Extractions: TIPS Home What's New Mission Site Map ... Related Links Approximately 2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives live in the United States. Since July 1, 1990, the U.S. population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has increased by 10.4%. The number of American Indians and Alaska Natives is expected to increase steadily to 2.4 million in 2000, 3.1 million in 2020, and 4.4 million in 2050. Major subgroups in this population are American Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts. Most American Indians and Alaska Natives have settled across the country; the largest percentage resides in Oklahoma (13%). Although many tribes consider tobacco a sacred gift and use it during religious ceremonies and as traditional medicine, the tobacco-related health problems they suffer are caused by chronic cigarette smoking and spit tobacco use. Because of the cultural and geographic diversity of American Indians and Alaska Natives, tobacco use often varies widely by region or subgroup. Nationally, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among American Indians and Alaska Natives.
