CENSUS 2010 The 2010 Census provides an opportunity to document your Native American ancestry. It is critical that all Native Americans self-identify as “Native Americans” or “Native Americans in combination with One or More races” when completing their 2010 Census questionnaires! The Census is the single most important event in America that drives all “Federal Formula” and “Need Based” funding decisions for the next ten year Period. It guides charitable services and grant programs to meet the needs of Mixed Blood Indians that are not enrolled in Federal Recognized Tribes. So, be sure to mark your Census, “Native American” or “Native American in combination with One or More races”. |
