Many members of the Onondaga Nation decline to participate in the U.S. Census, as they do not consider themselves to be U.S. citizens. Therefore, census reportage of the Onondaga Reservation is notoriously untrustworthy. According to a resident speaking in 2001, at the time she spoke, there had been no non-Native residents on the reservation since 1973.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.onondaganation.org/uncategorized/2020/onondagas-say-thats-not-us-in-your-census-reprint-from-2001/|title=Onondaga's [''sic''] Say: That's not us in your census (reprint from 2001)|website=Onondaga Nation|date=16 January 2020|accessdate=2 September 2021}}</ref>
