Director's Blog: American Indian and Alaska Native Groups Will Provide Input on Improving Their Data [ [link removed] ]

"Written by: Robert L. Santos, Director"

Indigenous people have lived on the land we now call North America for millennia. They thrived on this land establishing structured governments, treaties, and alliances that are relevant today. They have preserved their culture, language, and governance structure, while continuing to lead with dignity and resilience.

As the nation’s premier statistical agency, the U.S. Census Bureau produces data that illuminate the diversity of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people and their communities. We honor the histories, cultures, and resilience of all indigenous people and communities in our nation. We do this by recognizing the obligation to engage and collect their input on the economic and demographic data we collect on their behalf.

Additionally, statistical products developed for AIAN tribes and villages have proven to be powerful tools to inform their decision-making, identify tribal needs, and set priorities.
