Some info Updated 12 January 2023
There are certain Indian tribes or groups that are federally recognized and eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). There are currently 574 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.
As Tribal elections and other changes in Tribal leadership occur at various times throughout the year, the information is the most currently available at the time of its update and approval. Because the BIA cannot track all Tribal leadership changes in real time, it does not guarantee the accuracy of Tribal contact information.
