25 Native American Demographics

Federal and State Recognized Tribes

Updated November 2018

The following state-by-state listing of Indian tribes or groups are federally recognized and eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), there are currently 573 federally recognized tribes. For more information on federally recognized tribes, click here. The list also includes Indian tribes or groups that are recognized by the states, when the state has established such authority. This acknowledges their status within the state but does not guarantee funding from the state or the federal government. State-recognized Indian tribes are not federally recognized; however, federally recognized tribes may also be state-recognized.

Tribal constitutions determine the criteria for an individual’s tribal enrollment, for more information regarding the process of tribal membership and enrollment, please visit the federal Department of Interior website.
