NIES regions are based on U.S. Census divisions and are configured to align with the overall distribution of the AI/AN student population. The results are based on samples from students enrolled in all types of schools (public, private, Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), and Department of Defense). See a map that outlines the NIES regions.
