ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The U.S. Census Bureau was due to launch its latest once-in-a decade head count of Americans on Tuesday in one of the most remote corners of the country: a tiny, rural Alaska Native settlement on the Bering Sea coast.
From there, a team will fan out to collect 2020 census data from all the other Toksook Bay residents in a day of fanfare that will include ceremonial Yup’ik dance performances and a feast of traditional foods. But in sprawling rural Alaska, where roads are few and much travel depends on hard-frozen ground, the census must get started earlier.
“It’s the first time the word is really getting across the nation that the 2020 census is here,” Dillingham said on Saturday. To help boost responses in harder-to-reach communities, the Census Bureau has translated its materials into several indigenous languages, including Yup’ik.
