This list was compiled by the federal government's Interagency Working Group on Indian Affairs (IWGIA) as an aid to federal agency consultation with federally recognized Indian tribes. It is not intended to be an exhaustive source of information about Indian tribes in each state or about which tribes must be consulted by federal agencies for a proposed action or program within a particular state.
The IWGIA has not verified the accuracy of the information. It is intended only to provide possible sources to learn about which tribes may be ancestral to a particular state. If an Indian tribe is not mentioned on a state’s website, it cannot be assumed that the tribe has no interest in that state.
