December Census Updates

All across the US tribes are fully occupied in persuading their member/citizens to participate in the 2020 Census.  The political clout the tribes have depends on the picture the Census paints of Native People, living on reservations governed by the tribes.

At the same time getting Indian people to answer the 2020 Census questionnaire in areas outside of tribal lands is equally important.  In the 2010 Census a full 70% of those that identified as only American Indian or Alaska Native lived in areas outside the boundaries of any federal reservation, former reservation area in Oklahoma or any Alaska Native Village Statistical Area.

The American Indian Council, based in Kansas City, knows this well.  It actively promoted participation in the 2010 Census and is even more active this time around.
