The U.S. Census Bureau and the Osage Nation today announced an historic agreement to share administrative data.

The agreement, formally signed on August 16, 2024, establishes a framework for the Osage Nation to share administrative data directly with the Census Bureau. Data include education, military service, household information, employment, housing, income and expenses at the aggregate level. This tribal data agreement gives the Osage Nation and Census Bureau an opportunity to improve the quality of their data while protecting the confidentiality of tribal members.

“This is a significant milestone in fostering collaboration and trust between the Census Bureau and the Osage Nation. It allows us to better serve the Osage tribe by developing more accurate and relevant statistical data products for their use in governance, resource management and planning,” said Robert L.

We at the U.S. Census Bureau build trust through our relationships. Trust is essential to effect cooperation, sharing and working together for a common good.

It’s in this spirit that the Census Bureau announces an historic agreement with the Osage Nation to share information for the benefit of the Osage people. With this agreement, we now have a framework for the Osage Nation to share aggregated administrative data directly with the Census Bureau on topics like education, military service, household information, employment, health and wellness, housing, income and expenses. We are deeply honored to be able to cooperate and work together through this agreement.

We will use these aggregate data to discover new ways of improving the quality of our statistical products about the Osage Nation, while ensuring the protection and confidentiality of tribal member responses. With access to these records, we can improve our statistical products to provide a more accurate portrait of Indian Country.
