Languages

Due to significant need, Alaska Counts has begun to translate Language Guides and other materials into languages around the State. The US Census Bureau has not translated any materials into any Alaska Native languages for this decennial Census.

Mahsi’ Choo, Quyana Cakneq, Enaa’ Baasee’, and Quyanaqpak to our panelists who spent a week with us in Anchorage translating the 2020 Census into the Language Guides you see below. Meet our panelists here.

Additional Language Resources

Groups across the US are working to translate informational materials as well as Language Guides into languages not covered by the US Census Bureau. We’ve compiled, by language, the materials we’ve found, as well as an Alaska-specific brochure that is a quick factsheet of your rights regarding the 2020 Census.
