The Census module tracks every person entry in Campus - parents, staff, students, emergency contacts, doctors, etc. Demographic data is used throughout Campus, utilizing historic details of each person. Some fields in the Census module are unique to each state. Other fields in the Census module do not require unique, state-specific data. However, many of these fields are required and data entry in these fields is necessary. For more information on these fields, see the Demographics article.

Tribal Affiliation

Tribal affiliation allows people to receive broader access to the programs and benefits offered to enrolled Tribal Members. Each Tribe has its own processes for tribal enrollment to determine whether an individual is eligible for membership. Each tribe maintains its own enrollment records and records about past members. 

If the person is identified as American Indian, users use this field to indicate the tribe to which the person is affiliated. A person identified as such is defined as: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.

Please refer to the Arizona Federally Recognized Tribes directory for more information.
