FROM THE DIRECTOR

U.S. CENSUS BUREAU


Dear Governor <name>:


The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) is preparing to conduct the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) in your state. Participants in PSAP will have the opportunity to review and update selected statistical geographic areas for tabulation and presentation of data from the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau will directly contact federally recognized tribes, local and county governments, and planning organizations to solicit their participation in the 2020 Census PSAP.


The Census Bureau will work with state government staff to provide statistical area updates for state recognized tribes. The Census Bureau requests that your office designate a state tribal liaison for the 2020 Census PSAP. The state tribal liaison will be responsible for reviewing our list of state recognized tribes in your state. They will have the opportunity to review and update state reservation boundaries, state designated tribal statistical areas (SDTSAs), and census designated places (CDPs).


State tribal liaisons collaborate with the Census Bureau to plan and implement activities promoting the census within tribal communities. By participating, tribes could have many advantages of using census statistical data, including making informed decisions regarding their health and welfare.

For state reservation geographies, a governor-appointed state tribal liaison provides the names and boundaries for state recognized American Indian reservations to the Census Bureau. The Census Bureau will provide the state recognized reservation boundaries on record at the Census Bureau to the liaison. The liaison will review existing boundaries and, if appropriate, delineate any newly identified state reservations.

In the case of state recognized American Indian tribes that do not have a state recognized legal land base (reservation), the liaison will review SDTSAs previously identified and delineated for the Census Bureau. In addition, the state liaison may identify new SDTSAs that comprise areas with a concentration of tribal members and recognized tribal activities.

Please fill out and return the enclosed State Tribal Liaison Contact Update Form within two weeks of receipt. If we do not receive a form, we will follow up with a call to your office to request state tribal liaison contact information. If we do not hear back from you during follow up, we will contact the 2010 state tribal liaison we have on file.

If you have questions about this request or the 2020 Census PSAP, please ask your staff to contact the Census Bureau.
