Census Prepares for Cheyenne River Reservation Census Test
New Field Office ramping up on South Dakota Reservation for
2006 test run of
2010 Census
U.S. Census Bureau,
Public Information Office
April 18, 2005 - The U.S. Census Bureau will conduct
field testing for the 2010 Census on the Cheyenne River Reservation in
South Dakota in 2006. The test will include everyone who lives within
the boundaries of this reservation.
The Cheyenne River Census Field Office, located in the
Teton Mall in Eagle Butte, S.D., opened in late March. From July through
August 2005, census workers will travel through the reservation to
identify every housing unit. Between March and May 2006, census workers
will visit every residence to conduct the actual enumeration.
“This project is designed to evaluate many systems and
procedures planned to be used in conducting the 2010 Census on
reservations,” said Census Bureau Director Louis Kincannon.
In addition to studying new methods and technology, the
Census Bureau will continue to uphold its high standard of protecting
the confidentiality of all respondents. Every person with access to data
is sworn by law to protect confidentiality. Violating the laws
protecting confidentiality is a federal crime with serious penalties,
including a prison sentence of up to five years and a $250,000 fine.
Respondent information is protected and identities
cannot be shared with any person or organization outside of the Census
Bureau.
To apply for 2006 Census Test jobs, call the Cheyenne
River Census Field Office at (605) 964-1990 or toll-free at (877)
744-1522.
