Children under 5 are oftentimes undercounted in the census. The undercount of children costs our families for a decade because the census is only done every 10 years.  Show that our kids count by making sure they are counted in this year’s census that ends on Wednesday.   Do your census online at (https://my2020census.gov/)

There are Last Chance Census events planned to help you complete the 2020 Census if you haven’t already done so.  On Tuesday there are Drive Through Events – from 11am – 1pm at the Community Center, and from 5-7pm at both Simnasho and Seekseequa.  There will be people to help you complete the census, hot dogs, food boxes, census swag and the new Tribal Cares Act application will be available.  Also – you can complete the census, with assistance, get a Tribal Cares Act application and grab a snack on Wednesday from 7:30am – 5pm at the Warm Springs Tribal Administration Building.

If you have Covid-19 symptoms or questions this weekend you can call the Registered Nurse Health Advice Hotline at 1-866-470-2015.

To protect from spreading the COVID-19 virus:
