How to fill out Census in Navajo

The U.S. Census Bureau has created a page in Navajo to help those on the Navajo Nation fill out the questionnaire.

The Bureau also has created a video, which is seen on the right to take residents through the process.

The page can be seen on the Bureau's website at:
