recorded your updates for Alaska Native village statistical areas (ANVSAs). Please take the
action steps below to verify statistical areas.
Action Steps:

received and reviewed statistical areas for the 2020 Census PSAP. If you do not return the
postage-paid postcard to the Census Bureau, we will contact your tribe to confirm
