A List of the "Federally Recognized" Tribes of North America
Beings that we have been talking a bit about the different tribes of Turtle Island, we thought we would go ahead and get you an accurate list of all the tribes that are upon our beloved land, just in case you ever wondered.
The list we are going to provide for you here is in alphabetical order but will also give you a very brief listing of pertinent information about each tribe such as what state they reside in. Please note that this list is from January 2015 by the United States' Federal Register which issued it as the official list of Federally Recognized tribes, not ALL the tribes that there are, these are the 566 tribes that are considered as being "Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible To Receive Services From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs."
