Complete Count staff plan 2020 census
Serving as the Confeder-
ated Tribes Complete Count
Committee, Health and
Human Ser vices general
manager Caroline Cruz and
Human Resources director
Cheryl Tom met with staff
last week, planning the com-
munity approach to the
2020 census.
When it comes to the cen-
sus, the tribes—like other
rural areas, and especially
reservations—are an under-
counted part of the state,
according to census data.
This results in the loss of
essential federal funding, as
allocated by population. As
the census happens only
once every 10 years; so miss-
ing parts of the local popu-
lation has a long-term im-
pact.
The 2020 Census begins
soon: The official start date
is April 1, though tribal in-
dividuals and households
can begin submitting their

information in March.
The count will then con-
tinue for several weeks, dur-
ing which time the hope is
that all residents of the res-
ervation are accounted for
in the 2020 count.
As we begin the process,
the Complete Count Com-
mittee team will be reaching
out at community events,
door-to-door, with literature
and on-air information, any
and all means to help ensure
a fair representation of the
reservation. Some points
mentioned at the Count
Committee meeting last
week:
Whenever possible on the
reservation, the head of the
household should accurately
be identified as Native
American on the census
form.
The tribal households will
be submitting their informa-
tion online. The census
form cannot be mailed to
the homes, as the post of-
fice boxes are the mail cen-
ters for nearly all the house-
holds.
Making the computers
available, and assisting with
the submission, will be part
of the outreach.

The Warm Springs Complete Count
Committee is asking every household
on the reservation to participate in the
2020 Census. On the census form
an American Indian can identify as
both Native, and as a member of an-
other race—But the only way to ensure that you are
included in all the counts as American Indian is to check
just that one box on the form.
