The National Congress of American Indians will host the kickoff for the "Indian Country Counts" campaign at its 66th annual conference in Palm Springs, California, next week.
The U.S. Census Bureau hopes to improve the count of American Indians and Alaska Natives for the 2010 Census. Historically, Native Americans, along with Native Hawaiians, are the most undercounted group in the nation.
Census Director Robert Groves will be at the conference to
reaffirm the agency's Indian Country policy.
