1. Expand and Update the AIAN Tribe List in CCCApply

The American Indian/Alaska Natives race group is one of the upper-level race groups listed in the Race & Ethnicity section in CCCApply. As with the other race groups, the American Indian/Alaska Natives (AIAN) group includes a number of sub-group entities, or ethnicities, that display if the upper-level AIAN group is selected. Prior to this expansion, the AIAN group included over 300 individual entities. Following the expansion, the group includes over 570 individual AIAN options. Each entity is assigned a unique code/value as part of the Race Ethnicity Full data field

Updated & Deprecated AIAN Tribes

Part of the expansion implementation includes making some updates to our existing list of AIAN tribes, including updating some of the names to match the Federal Registry list, and deprecating some tribes that are no longer recognized by the Federal Registry list. The deprecated tribes will continue to exist in the CCCApply database, but will no longer display in the new expanded list. In the 2024 Complete AIAN Race & Ethnicity List, the names that have been updated are color-coded in orange, and the names that are deprecated - or no longer in use - are color-coded in yellow.

New AIAN Tribes

Every new AIAN tribe added to CCCApply comes directly from the Federal Registry. Each one has been assigned a unique Race Ethnicity Full field code/value <race_ethnic_full>, which along with every other existing race group ethnicity in CCCApply. The <race_ethnic_full> field is designed to store upwards of 800 selected codes (individual codes, selecting by the applicant while completing the Race & Ethnicity section. For more information about the Race & Ethnicity data fields, see Data Fields & Data Delivery section below).
