The Census Bureau is planning two
national webinars to be held on
December 11, 2024, and 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 webinars 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. We are
providing Tribes for their review the
proposed code list and Federal Register
Notice with background information
about this project. The Census Bureau is
seeking feedback from Tribal
governments on the following questions:
1. Are there any groups missing from
the proposed code list? If so, please
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

identify them and suggest how the
groups should be classified and why.
2. Are any groups on the proposed
code list misclassified? If so, please
identify them and suggest an alternative
classification or indicate if the term
should be removed.
3. Are there alternative terms,
abbreviations, or in-language terms
people may use to identify with a
specific group that should be added to
the proposed code list? If so, please
identify them and suggest a
classification.
In accordance with Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments, issued
November 6, 2000, the Census Bureau
has adhered to its Tribal consultation
policy by seeking the input of Tribal
governments in the planning and
implementation of the ACS and the
2030 Census with the goal of ensuring
the most accurate counts and data for
the American Indian or Alaska Native
population. In that regard, the Census
Bureau is seeking comments on the
proposed race/ethnicity code list:
https://www2.census.gov/programssurveys/demo/2030-race-and-orethnicity-code-list/.
Tribes will have until February 5,
2025, to review the proposed updates to
the code list and provide input.
