Now we have changed the name of the indicator (US citizens), and also added some explanations in the tooltip bar, which could be seen when you hover your mouse on the indicator. <br /><br />If you need further information about historical population of the United States, please have a look at this link:<br /><br />http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pp59adS3CHWdzxSyMtIkLXA&gid=2<br /><br />Best regards!<br /><br />Zhang from GapminderZhanghttp://www.gapminder.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091391601458003168.post-29225269081253951392009-08-19T16:59:02.307-04:002009-08-19T16:59:02.307-04:00Dear Hans,

Gapminder is still a great tool. <br />All the best,<br />HansHans Sandberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076379982007777341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091391601458003168.post-70822967526396818462009-08-19T16:45:26.558-04:002009-08-19T16:45:26.558-04:00Dear Hans,

We agree that it would have been best to show the native population, but we have not found any such time series. Gapminder only have the resources to display existing dataset and make them freely available. We will consider the terminology and info in the toll tip for population, and eagerly wait for information on where we can access estimations of the native population per state.<br />Kind regards Hans Rosling, Gapminder.Hans Roslinghttp://www.gapminder.orgnoreply@blogger.com
