BOSTON — Native Americans weren't counted as part of the U.S. Census until the late 1800s and remain one of the hardest-to-count populations in the nation.
Indigenous people living on reservations were undercounted by more than 5 percent during the last decennial count in 2010, according to the Census Bureau, the highest among any racial or ethnic group.
