The Bureau of the Census, part of the Department of Commerce, is holding a virtual public meeting on February 18, 2021, to consult with tribal governments. This meeting is part of their effort to build strong relationships with federally recognized tribes and will cover updates on the 2020 Census Disclosure Avoidance System. Tribes are encouraged to share comments and provide input on how they use census data before the meeting. The Census Bureau prioritizes tribal involvement in decision-making processes affecting tribal governments, in accordance with Executive Order 13175.
Simple Explanation
The government people from the U.S. Census are having an online meeting to talk with Native American tribes on February 18, 2021, so they can share important numbers and ask for tribe opinions. This is to make sure they listen to and work well with the tribes they recognize officially.
