This study looks to improve estimates of the effects of the road on the well-being of indigenous peoples and on their use of natural resources. The investigators use a natural experiment based on the construction of a road through a national park inhabited by three native Amazonian groups in Bolivia. The research lasted three years (1/2010-12/2012) and took place in villages in Parque Nacional Isiboro-Secure inhabited by native Amazonians (Tsimane, Yuracare, and Moxenos). The study includes a baseline or pre-intervention study during 2010 (before the road was built) and two annual follow-up surveys (2011 and 2012) immediately after the construction of the road (2011). The variables in the data indicate measures of well-being and natural resource extraction. The measures of well-being include: (a) village income and status inequality, (b) intra-household disparities, and (c) individual cash income, (d) social capital, and (e) emotions. The measures of use of natural resources include the extraction of natural resources used for sale and for own consumption. The units of analysis are villages, households, and individuals.

The Reports of the American Indian Family History Project was a study aimed at examining demographic trends among Native Americans families during the late 1800s and early 1900s utilizing census data, collected by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Census Bureau. Specifically, this study observed the behavior of Native American families from the Colville, Creek, Crow, Hopi, and White Earth Chippewa tribes at the time of the 1885, 1900, 1910, and 1930 censuses, although data were not available for all tribes in all years. Common among each dataset in the collection are variables on the respondent's age, sex, and family size. Also appearing in each dataset in the collection are variables describing the respondent's relation to the head of his or her household, number of children born to the respondent, and the familial status of the respondent's mother, father, and spouse. The data from 1900 and 1910 include socioeconomic variables relating to occupation, education, and home ownership. Also unique to the 1900 and 1910 data are variables that more specifically categorize the race and ethnicity of the respondent. Language and marital status variables appear in the 1900, 1910, and 1930 data as well.

The purpose of this project was to develop a culturally relevant crime seriousness index specific to the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate (SWO) tribe while working closely with community partners. Informal background interviews with key stakeholders provided a foundation on traditional crime management by the community. These interviews informed the creation of an SWO-specific adaptation of the Sellin-Wolfgang crime seriousness index following an online survey conducted in 2022 with SWO community members (n=44 completed surveys). Aggregated survey data have been released as a zipped package as it was received by ICPSR. Please refer to the study documentation for details on the index items and instructions on how to obtain the raw research data. The Final Report released by NIJ contains the full SRO crime seriousness index as Appendix D.

This is an annual longitudinal panel study of the Tsimane' society, referred to as the Tsimane' Amazonian Panel Study (TAPS). The Tsimane' are native Amazonian foragers-horticulturists who live mainly in the Department of El Beni, Bolivia. TAPS is aimed at measuring the impact on a small-scale rural society undergoing lifestyle changes from unabating contact with the market economy. All residents in 13 villages along the Maniqui River were surveyed annually from 2002 until 2010. Variables in the dataset capture a broad range of data on socioeconomic conditions and health status, including: demography; exact physical measurements (anthropometrics); horticultural inputs and outputs; uses of natural resources; current wealth in physical assets and recent monetary earnings; conviviality; health status and medical test results; and substance use. The units of analysis are villages, households, and individuals.
