Summary

The United States has a federal trust responsibility to 574 federally recognized Tribes ("Tribes"), which includes a responsibility to manage certain tribal lands and assets. The federal trust responsibility is a legal obligation under which the United States, through treaties, acts of Congress, and court decisions, "has charged itself with moral obligations of the highest responsibility and trust" toward Tribes, and can include obligations to protect tribal treaty rights, lands, assets, and resources on behalf of Tribes and tribal members. Many Tribes have associated lands ("tribal lands") in the United States, which include reservations but also other lands which may be located outside of tribal reservations. Tribal land types include fee (private) lands, restricted fee lands, and trust lands.

Tribal land ownership statuses and the federal-tribal trust relationship can pose unique challenges for Congress to consider when deliberating federal policies that affect Tribes. Because of the complex history between the United States and Tribes, each Tribe may have particular rights, interests, and concerns vis-à-vis the federal government. In addition, these tribal interests may differ from those of the surrounding local, county, or state governments. There may also be overlapping jurisdiction among federal, state, and tribal governments. Due to the unique nature of tribal interests and the interplay of tribal jurisdiction with federal and state jurisdiction, the location and extent of tribal lands within states and congressional districts may inform Members' consideration of certain policies and programs.

To that end, this report provides information about the location of tribal lands associated with federally recognized Tribes throughout the United States through maps and tables. First, this report contains maps showing the location of tribal lands and congressional districts in the 24 states that (1) have more than one congressional district and (2) contain lands associated with more than one federally recognized Tribe. The maps include numbers associated with each tribal land area listed in tables following each map that identify the Tribe associated with those lands and the congressional district(s) where those lands are found. The boundaries of tribal lands and congressional districts have been identified using information from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Following the state-specific maps and tables of states with multiple congressional jurisdictions and Tribes with tribal land areas is an Appendix containing the following:

  • 1. a table of the seven states with multiple congressional districts that have lands associated with only one federally recognized Tribe (Table A-1),
  • 2. a table of five states with a single congressional district and lands associated with multiple federally recognized Tribes (Table A-2), and
  • 3. a table of all federally recognized Tribes with associated tribal lands along with the state(s) and congressional district(s) in which each Tribe's lands are found, organized alphabetically by Tribe (Table A-3).

Introduction

Tribal land ownership statuses and the federal-tribal trust relationship can pose unique challenges for Congress to consider when deliberating federal policies that affect Tribes. Because of the complex history between the United States and Tribes, each Tribe may have particular rights, interests, and concerns vis-à-vis the federal government. In addition, these tribal interests may differ from those of the surrounding local, county, or state governments. There may also be overlapping jurisdiction among federal, state, and tribal governments. Due to the unique nature of tribal interests and the interplay of tribal jurisdiction with federal and state jurisdiction, the location and extent of tribal lands within states and congressional districts may inform Members' consideration of certain policies and programs.

To that end, this report provides information about the location of tribal lands associated with federally recognized Tribes throughout the United States through maps and tables. First, this report contains maps showing the location of tribal lands and congressional districts in the 24 states that (1) have more than one congressional district and (2) contain lands associated with more than one federally recognized Tribe.1 The maps include numbers associated with each tribal land area listed in tables following each map that identify the Tribe associated with those lands and the congressional district(s) where those lands are found. The boundaries of tribal lands and congressional districts have been identified using information from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Following the state-specific maps and tables of states with multiple congressional jurisdictions and Tribes with tribal land areas is an Appendix containing the following:

  • 1. a table of the seven states with multiple congressional districts that have lands associated with only one federally recognized Tribe (Table A-1),
  • 2. a table of five states with a single congressional district and lands associated with multiple federally recognized Tribes (Table A-2), and
  • 3. a table of all federally recognized Tribes with associated tribal lands along with the state(s) and congressional district(s) in which each Tribe's lands are found, organized alphabetically by Tribe (Table A-3).

Federally Recognized Tribes

The maps and tables in this report depict only lands associated with federally recognized Tribes. Federal recognition (sometimes called federal acknowledgment) is a term of art formalizing a government-to-government relationship between the United States and a particular federally recognized Tribe ("Tribe").2 A Tribe is an entity that is generally "eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians."3 Accordingly, federal recognition engenders certain rights and protections on a Tribe, including limited sovereign immunity and powers of self-government.4 Since 1994, under Congress's instruction, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) within the Department of the Interior (DOI) has published an annual list in the Federal Register of all Tribes that have received federal recognition.5 As of February 2024, of the 574 federally recognized Tribes, 347 are located within the 48 contiguous states and 227 are located in Alaska.6 Tribes must generally obtain federal recognition either through an administrative process overseen by the Department of the Interior or through an act of Congress.7 Sometimes Tribes comprise different groups, which are often called bands.8

Tribal Lands

Many Tribes have associated lands ("tribal lands") in the United States, which include reservations but also other lands which may be located outside of tribal reservations.9 Tribal land types include fee (private) lands, restricted fee lands, and trust lands.10 Reservations include lands reserved for a Tribe (or multiple Tribes) under treaty, statute, or other agreement where the Tribe has jurisdiction.11 Reservations may overlap state, county, or county subdivision boundaries.12 Individual tribal members or Tribes may privately own fee lands, meaning they hold title to the land and the land is under their complete control.13 Alternatively, they may hold restricted fee lands, which generally may not be sold or transferred without federal approval.14

Trust lands are lands or interests in land that are held in trust by the federal government for the benefit of a Tribe or tribal member.15 BIA is the federal government entity that holds lands in trust on behalf of Tribes and their members.16 Land may become trust land through an administrative process known as the land-into-trust, or fee-to-trust, process.17 Alternatively, Congress can mandate that the Secretary of the Interior take certain land into trust for a Tribe.18

In Alaska, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) divided the state into 12 geographic regions and authorized the formation of for-profit Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) for each region.19 These Regional ANCs own and manage fee lands distributed under ANCSA and provide other economic benefits to their Alaska Native shareholders. The Metlakatla Indian Community of the Annette Island Reserve was excluded from ANCSA, making the Annette Island Reserve the only reservation in Alaska.20

Oklahoma Tribes may be associated with another type of tribal land called Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas (OTSA). These areas depict historical reservations for Tribes in Oklahoma, which continue to be recognized for certain legal purposes.21 The Census Bureau generally defines the boundary of an OTSA as that of the former reservation, unless the boundary has been modified by agreements with neighboring Tribes.22

When tribal land is claimed by multiple Tribes, the Census Bureau may designate it as a Joint Use Area.23 Specifically, this term means "an area that is administered jointly and/or claimed" by two or more Tribes.24 The Census Bureau designates legal joint-use areas as unique geographic entities when presenting statistical data.25

Data Sources

Federal agencies and Tribes use various geographic concepts and definitions to develop tribal land maps. Many Tribes and other stakeholders have raised concerns about using federal data sources, such as the Census Bureau and the BIA, to identify tribal lands because of alleged inaccuracies.26 As an alternative, many Tribes have asked agencies to use tribally generated data, and some are creating their own maps.27 Federal agencies are working on improving tribal data collection in consultation with Tribes.28

To ensure consistency across states and to use the most current information available, this report uses data from the Census Bureau. While BIA continuously updates the official records of tribal lands that it maintains, the most recent data available for download are from 2021.29 The Census Bureau data underlying this report, by contrast, are from 2022.30 In some cases, the Census Bureau data use different names for Tribes and tribal lands than the BIA's 2024 official list of federally recognized Tribes. If the names are inconsistent, the BIA list's name is used in the report tables.31

Ct. 2452 (2020)—continue to be recognized for certain legal purposes. The Census Bureau generally defines the boundary of an OTSA as that of the former reservation, unless the boundary has been modified by agreements with neighboring Tribes.

Note: The Annette Island Reserve is the only tribal reservation in Alaska. Census data do not reflect DOI's 2022 acceptance of Alaska Native land into trust status. See DOI, BIA, "Indian Affairs to Accept Land into Trust for Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska," press release, November 17, 2022, at https://www.bia.gov/news/indian-affairs-accept-land-trust-tlingit-and-haida-indian-tribes-alaska.

Federally Recognized Tribes with Tribal Lands Located within the Boundaries of States and Congressional Districts

The following table of all the Tribes included in this report is organized by the name of the Tribe in alphabetical order. This enables searching by Tribe to locate all states and congressional districts in which that Tribe has tribal lands. For example, if one wished to locate the tribal lands of the Navajo Nation, one could find one entry in the table indicating that the Navajo Nation has lands in four congressional districts in three states:

Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico, & Utah

Arizona

AZ-02

 

New Mexico

NM-02

NM-03

 

Utah

UT-03

Some lands may be claimed by multiple Tribes and may be designated by the Census Bureau as "joint use areas." CRS expresses no opinion on such claims. Tribal groups or bands are specified in parentheses as applicable. In addition, to aid in identifying tribal name changes, Tribes' previously listed names are included in italics after the current tribal names as published in BIA's 2024 list of Tribes.
