The 2020 Census: An Act of Sovereignty

Historically, Native people have been shut out from the Census process. We won’t let that continue. This year, we will be seen, heard, and counted. Participating in the Census is an act of sovereignty. It’s also a commitment to the well-being of future generations and a way to secure needed resources for our nations. The Census makes us strong.
