Who cares, honestly. It’s the US census, not a tribal census. People aren’t taught anymore there are treaties and agreements in place with tribes being sovereign. When it comes time to get the benefits they ask for your tribal id, and if you don’t have one then you get an eyeroll and labeled a tourist.
