U.S. Census Bureau Virtual Tribal Consultations on American Community Survey

The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) will conduct two virtual Tribal consultations on the proposed race/ethnicity code list for the 2030 American Community Survey: https://www2.census.gov/​programs-surveys/​demo/​2030-race-and-or-ethnicity-code-list/​.

 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 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.

Tribal Nations will have until February 5, 2025, to review the proposed updates to the code list and provide input. Comments can be sent to Dee.A.Alexander@census.gov or OCIA.TAO@census.gov.

The two virtual Tribal consultations are scheduled for the following dates and times:
