📅 The Week Ahead: American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month
American Indians and Alaska Natives were often overlooked by our nation’s first enumerations. Efforts to make our data more inclusive began in the late 19th century.
Today, Census Bureau data and records tell the story of our nation’s growing American Indian and Alaska Native population.
Learn more on our history page this American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, and follow our #WeTheData campaign on social media throughout November.
