Census, continued from page 1
participation among historically undercounted groups, including rural populations
and Alaska Natives.
Today’s enumeration is just the beginning of the Census Bureau’s comprehensive
plan to count everyone living in the United States. In order to count every person, the
Census Bureau is building a team by hiring hundreds of thousands of local census tak-
ers to knock on doors of households that don’t self-respond to the census. It is actively
recruiting people from across the country to apply for the temporary positions.
Tribal Chairman Delores Pigsley presents a $50,000 check to Siletz Valley
Fire Chief Glenn Fluhr at the Tribal Council meeting on Jan. 17. This annual
donation to the Siletz Valley Fire District helps the nearly all-volunteer dis-
trict with general operating costs. If you are interested in volunteering, pick
up an application at Station 1, 149 W. Buford Ave. in Siletz. You can reach the
station at 541-444-2043.
While the 2020 Census count officially starts with a special operation in Toksook
Bay and other remote areas of Alaska, residents of Anchorage, Fairbanks and other
large Alaska cities, along with the rest of the nation, will be invited to respond for the
first time to the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail. Invitations to respond will
reach most of the estimated 145 million households across the country between March
12 and March 20, 2020.

According to us,
we are irreplaceable…
… and when we participate in the 2020 Census, we show others
how our communities have grown. We may think that our tribes
will count us in the census, but we need to respond ourselves.
Our tribes do not provide enrollment numbers to the U.S. Census
Bureau.
The 2020 Census is the count for all American Indians and
Alaska Natives, no matter our age or where we live. We use data
from an accurate count to plan for programs and services in our
communities.
