Read how Village Earth empowered Tribes to collect more accurate census data. The Dakota Pilot Project utilized technologies such as iPads and GPS, as well as informing the tribes’ populations of their intentions—to get what Davis said is a more accurate count, especially in Trenton, where the oil boom has caused a greater need for more housing. “It showed great needs,” Davis said. “We marked all our homes and were able to get a true indication. … We need more units on the reservation. Every factor of the survey showed there was greater need.” Another factor the project contended was the homeless population. With six or seven people residing in three-bedroom homes, conditions lead to people sleeping on the floor and in the closets. News ow.ly/wKAFB
