Census Bureau Tribal Consultation
Wednesday, January 15, 2025 (3:00 PM - 4:30 PM) (EST)
Description
Wednesday, January 15, 2025 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Agenda
The Census Bureau is planning a national webinar to be held on January 15, 2025 with federally and state recognized tribes, which will provide a forum for tribes to learn about its Race/Ethnicity Coding Improvement Project and provide feedback. The Race/Ethnicity Coding Improvement Project provides an opportunity for tribes to provide feedback on how detailed race and/or ethnicity and American Indian or Alaska Native populations will be coded in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the 2030 Census. The Census Bureau aims to enhance and improve the code list that was used in the 2020 Census and is currently used in the ACS to ensure that detailed race and/or ethnicity and tribal responses are accurately coded and tabulated in future data collections.
The webinar will provide information on how to interpret and understand the code list and its impact on the data tribes receive. Tribal leaders will have the opportunity to provide feedback on alternative terms, abbreviations, or in-language terms that individuals may use to identify themselves as a citizen of their tribes and any groups that may be missing or misclassified in the code list.
