An unusual #citationhole comes up in Butler's (1970) paper on the #Atakapas #Indians, unusual because he provided an alternative origin for the tribe's name that is generally more negatively cited as meaning "man eater". However, he cited Swanton's (1911) book, with a page number and all, which does not contain this alternative origin at all.

...ethnicity in the census, so the denominator might be slightly higher, which would slightly increase the ratio for the #Canadian segment of the figures.

Further investigation seems warranted, if my calculations are correct.
This cannot be a sociological deviation, as possibly with the figures for #blacks in 1/n.

BTW, #NamUS seems to have noticed, too. The only special report for ethnicities is for #AmerIndians and #AlaskanNatives:
