title: American Indian migration and economic opportunities.
abstract: This article examines interstate migration and labor force participation among White, American Indian, and intermarried Indian/White couples in the US.  The results show that endogamous American Indian couples are much less likely to change states of residence than are the other 2 groups of couples.  The effect of interstate migration on labor force participation does not vary across the 3 groups of couples.  The implications of these results for the assimilation and internal colonial models of race relations and for federal Indian policy are discussed
