U.S. Census Announces Upcoming Month of May Webinars

Published May 1, 2019

WASHINGTON  The U.S. Census Bureau is hosting two national webinars with federally recognized tribes across the country.  These webinars are part of the Census Bureau’s ongoing efforts to improve and maintain a government-to-government relationship with tribes.

These sessions are scheduled to provide updated information to the tribes on pertinent programs, with a particular focus on tribal boundaries.

This national webinar will provide a forum for the tribes to share insights, make recommendations, and discuss concerns related to tribal boundaries with the Census Bureau. Additionally, the Census Bureau will provide further information on current tribal boundaries, the Boundary and Annexation Survey, and collaborative work with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Proposed 2020 Census Data Products Plan 

The U.S. Census Bureau is hosting national webinars with federally recognized tribes from across the country. These webinars are part of the Census Bureau’s ongoing efforts to improve and maintain a government-to-government relationship with tribes. These sessions are scheduled to provide updated information to the tribes about the Proposed 2020 Census Data Products Plan.

In preparation for the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau is conducting a comprehensive review of the decennial census data products. Given the need for improved confidentiality protection, we may reduce the amount of detailed data that we release in our 2020 data products, including detailed data on American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages.
