The decennial census is now underway. Tribes and organizations are making a push to get an accurate count of all Native Americans. They are also working to see that residents receive factual information about filling out the Census form. For example, they urge tribal members to use the name of their tribe exactly as it’s listed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Otherwise they risk not having their tribal affiliation represented. We’ll talk with experts about what Native Americans need to know about the Census.
Guests:
Jaime Gloshay (Navajo/White Mountain Apache/Kiowa) – Tribal Representative for the New Mexico State Complete Count Commission
Dr. James Tucker – vice chair of the National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic and Other Populations for the U.S. Census and pro bono counsel to the Native American Rights Fund
