Two studies were made by the author to validate the conclusion of earlier writers that while the more acculturated Indians left the reservation, a reservoir of traditional culture-carriers remained behind.After consideration of such factors as use of language, expressed white values, degree of Indian blood, and degree of education it is concluded that the acculturation of migrants is greater than that of non-migrants. It was also found that the rate of migration was higher than it is usually thought to be.The failure of migrants to influence Indian communities is said to be due to the fact that (l) migrants move greater distances and tend to cut all ties with the reservation; (2) some migrants move to new Indian environments: (3) factional disputes arise between migrants and non-migrants.The conclusion is that migration accelerates the acculturation of the individual but is a mechanism which also keeps the Indian communities distinct and isolated from white society
