U.S. Census Office, State of Birth of the Native Population by States and Territories: 1900 (1903)

This 100% bar chart, published in the Statistical Atlas, 1900, shows a breakdown of the "Native" population of each state and territory. Native here refers to people born in the United States, regardless of race or ethnicity (see p. 42). The pink indicates the portion of the state's native-born population born in the state, and gray indicates the state's native-born population born in other states. The numbers are labels for different states. The graph shows significant movement of people into states like Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and "Indian Territory" (the eastern part of present-day Oklahoma). For example, just prior to the Twelfth Census, in 1889, thousands of people had moved into Oklahoma and Indian Territory to claim land in the first Oklahoma Land Rush, when the U.S. government opened up a 1.9 million acre tract of "Indian Territory" that had not been officially "assigned" to a Native American tribe.
