Arizona is home to 22 American Indian Tribes, Nations and Communities and 21 federally-recognized Indian reservations. We rank third nationally in total Indian population (256,000+), and fifth for Indian percentage of total population (5%). More than 30% of the land base in the state is under some form of legal Indian jurisdiction. Over 63% of all American Indians living in this state reside on Indian reservations--almost the exact opposite of the national trend for reservation living.
