By now you should have received your 2020 census with instruction on completing it. The government determines how to distribute more than $900 billion of federal dollars to programs, grants and Native American tribes through the data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.

One of the most crucial questions on the census defines the householder. If only one member of a family is not a citizen of a federally recognized tribe and they identify them as the householder, the census records the entire household as such, which includes enrolled children. As a native you must identify yourself as the householder.
