Census information vital to operation of tribal programs Information gathered in the 1990 U.S. Census will ba scrutinised by the many federal agendas which allocate funds to state, local and tribal governments. Sane federal programs, like the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Health Service, use census data to assess needs and to make planning decisions. Others rely solely on census information to distribute funds. Good census information is crurial to planning and to the economic of tribes, said Sam Deloria, director of the American Indian Law Center, Albuquerque, NM. . cy . ' Last year about $72 million in Job Training and Partnership Act (JTPA) funds were allocated to tribes and Indian organizations based on statistics gathered during the laat decennial census in 1980, said Norm DeWeaver ofthe Indian and Native American Employment and Training Coali- tion. Next years census figures are expected to determine JTPA funding levels to beyond the year 2000. The JTPA program provides employment assistance to com- -, munities based on need, a need which is determined in part by the comprehensive population and labor force information gathered by the census. The census will provide a picture of the Indian population, a population that will be larger, better educated, and hopefully . more productively employed than the Indian population waa in 1980, DeWeaver said. The US Department of Health and Human Services Head Start program also uses census information to allocate ftinds to American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Census figures help the head start program determine where the eligible three and four year olds are, and where the funding should go," said Pecita Lonewolf head starts American Indian Program! branch chief Additionally, HHS usea census figures in the provision of child welfare services, home energy assistance, sanitation facility assistance, elderly services and block grants to tribes and American Indian and Alaska Native organizations. The 1990 census will ask American Indiana to name their enrolled or principal tribe on the questionnaire. Data gathered by the census bureau in 1990 will be. helpful to tribes and urban Indian organisation! in providing fiiture programs and services to their populations.
