Tribal nations face less accurate, more limited 2020 census data because of privacy methods

Activists hold signs promoting Native American participation in the U.S. census in front of a mural of Crow Tribe historian and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Joe Medicine Crow on the Crow Indian Reservation, Aug. 26, 2020, in Lodge Grass, Mont. A majority of tribal groups won't get the full suite of detailed demographic data from the 2020 census that they had in the previous census. Some of the available numbers are going to be imprecise because of new privacy safeguards recently implemented by the U.S. Census Bureau, according to a new report by the Center for Indian Country Development.
