(Currently, there are 573 Federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Native entities.) The BIA annually publishes a list of Federally-recognized tribes in the Federal Register. The BIA maintains the LAR dataset as part of the DLTR function. The LAR dataset is the BIA\u2019s official geospatial representation of Federal Indian land areas. It is used in its systems of records. The BIA LAR dataset\u2019s spatial accuracy and attribute information is continuously being updated, improved, and used as the single authoritative land area data for the BIA\u2019s mission.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) American Indian and Alaska Native Land Area Representations (AIAN-LAR) dataset is complied from The American Indian Reservations / Federally Recognized Tribal Entities dataset which depicts feature location, selected demographics and other associated data for the 561 Federally Recognized Tribal entities in the contiguous U.S. and Alaska. Categories included are: American Indian Reservations (AIR), Federally Recognized Tribal Entities (FRTE) and Alaska Native Villages (ANV). Although Alaskan Native Villages are included in this description, the Alaskan Native village point feature dataset should be used to represent ANV along side this dataset in any maps depicting Tribal lands.

The GIS Dataset is to be used solely for illustrative, reference and statistical purposes and may be used for government to government Tribal consultation.Reservation boundary data is limited in authority to those areas where there has been settled Congressional definition or final judicial interpretation of the boundary. Absent settled Congressional definition or final judicial interpretation of a reservation boundary, the BIA recommends consultation with the appropriate Tribe and then the BIA to obtain interpretations of the reservation boundary.The land areas and their representations are compilations defined by the official land title records of BIA which include treaties, statutes, Acts of Congress, agreements, executive orders, proclamations, deeds and other land title documents. The trust, restricted, and mixed ownership land area shown here, are suitable only for general spatial reference and do not represent the federal government\u2019s position on the jurisdictional status of Indian country.
