Abstract
The Census Bureau will conduct two tribal consultations on the Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (DHC-A) and Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File B (Detailed DHC- B) on October 18, 2022, in Anchorage, Alaska and October 31, 2022, in Sacramento, California. Feedback on these products will help to determine the final content and design for the 2020 Census Detailed DHC-A and Detailed DHC-B. The tribal consultation meetings reflect the Census Bureau's continuous commitment to strengthen nation-to-nation relationships with federally recognized tribes. The Census Bureau's procedures for outreach, notice, and consultation ensure involvement of tribes to the extent practicable and permitted by law before making decisions or implementing policies, rules, or programs that affect federally recognized tribal governments. These meetings are open to citizens of federally recognized tribes by invitation. The Census Bureau provided questions in preparation for the tribal consultations focused on the Detailed DHC-A and Detailed DHC-B. In that regard, the Census Bureau is asking tribal governments review the proposed tables, levels of geography, and product design. Helpful feedback would include tables and geographies that are needed, how design changes may impact your work, and ways the Census Bureau can continue to effectively communicate with tribal leaders about these products. The purpose of the tribal consultations is to hear tribes' recommendations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is planning two tribal
consultations on October 18, 2022, in Anchorage, Alaska and October 31,
2022, in Sacramento, California, with federally recognized tribes, so
tribes can provide feedback on the content and design of the 2020
Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A
(Detailed DHC-A) and Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics
File B (Detailed DHC-B). These two products are the successor products
to the American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF) that was
produced in previous censuses. The Detailed DHC-A provides population
counts and sex by age statistics for approximately 370 detailed racial
and ethnic groups, such as German, Lebanese, Jamaican, Chinese, Native
Hawaiian, and Mexican, as well as about 1,200 detailed American Indian
and Alaska Native tribal and village population groups, such as Native
Village of Hooper Bay (Naparyarmiut) and Navajo Nation. The Detailed
DHC-B provides household type and tenure information for the same
detailed race and ethnicity groups and American Indian and Alaska
Native tribal and village population groups.
In accordance with Executive Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, issued November 6, 2000,
the Census Bureau has adhered to its tribal consultation policy by
seeking the input of tribal governments in the planning and
implementation of the 2020 Census with the goal of ensuring the most
accurate counts and data for the American Indian and Alaska Native
population. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on
the content and design of the 2020 Census Detailed DHC-A and Detailed
DHC-B, which include data on detailed race and ethnic groups and
American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages.

(Naparyarmiut) and Navajo Nation.
