Urban Indian Specific Resources
“Stand Up and Be Counted, Indian Country!” PSA

Urban Indian Outreach
Phoenix Indian Center
and
United American Indian Involvement, Inc.
Phoenix Urban OutreachAmerican Indian Complete Count
Committee of Maricopa County- Formed in September, 2010- Consists of organizations and individuals working
with the AI community- Phoenix Indian Center serves as meeting convener
and fiscal agent for Census projects - Monthly meetings focusing on event outreach- Created flyers , message boards and brochure
addressing the key messages- Sent press releases and information to media outlets
Phoenix Urban Outreach: Key Msgs- It is safe. All information is kept confidential. - We encourage AIANs to use their official tribal name when indicating their tribal affiliation - In the space provided, AIANs can indicate up to 2 tribal names, which is NOT clear from reading the census questionnaire - AIANs DO NOT need to be enrolled in the tribe or tribes that they are indicating on their census questionnaire. Many people think they need to be enrolled, but this is not true. - Ask each person where they live. Important in discussing how the census is being administered. In the urban area, they are receiving it via US Postal Service. On most reservations, it is through enumeration or knocking on doors, with a few exceptions.
-i.e. SRPMIC, adjacent to Phoenix urban area is through US Postal Service
Phoenix Urban Outreach- Conducted Census outreach at more than 30
events from October to present- Provided several presentations as conferences
and meetings about the importance of the US Census and how to spread the word about the Census
- Asked all employees in the Native American Service Center to
- put flyers up in individual offices and lobbies and give brochures out to each customer
- Place a Census tagline on email signature line
