Native American populations have historically been under-counted by the census.

From Texas Public Radio:
There are 5.2 million known American Indians and Alaska Natives in the U.S., less than 2% of the nation’s overall population. Historically underrepresented — and undercounted — that population is often called “invisible.”
The upcoming U.S. census offers an opportunity to change that.
