A majority of Native American tribes won't get the full suite of detailed demographic data from the 2020 census they had in the previous census
But the detailed data sets from the 2020 census they will receive this month are more limited and less accurate than they were in the previous census — and it isn’t because the COVID-19 pandemic severely limited outreach efforts.

The Census Bureau provides detailed data for 1,200 American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages.
