COME TO YOUR CENSUS! With so much going on, it is important to remember that the 2020 U.S. Census is still happening. In this time of personal sacrifice, stay-at-home orders, and practicing resilience, please make sure to represent our community by responding to the 2020 U.S. Census online at my2020census.gov. Did you know our community misses out on tens of thousands of dollars for every person who isn’t counted? Each individual contributes an estimated $30,000 over ten years, until the next U.S. Census (the next one isn't until 2030)! Spend 10 minutes filling out your census now to gain 10 years of funding support for our community. Every ten years the Constitution mandates a complete count of every living person in the country and accuracy is critical to our community in so many ways. A complete count ensures our community receives our fair share of federal funding, accurate congressional representation, and many other essential services. Being counted means standing up for yourself, your family, and your tribal community. Thankfully the preferred method of responding is online or by phone. It only takes a few minutes to complete and your information is confidential.
