Introduction

The US Census Bureau collects data on American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) Areas, which include federally recognized reservations, trust lands, and other statistical areas like Tribal Designated Statistical Areas (TDSAs) and State Designated Statistical Areas (SDTSAs). Census data is used to generate statistics for these areas, which are further broken down into geographical units like tribal census tracts and tribal block groups, which may be distinct from standard state-county tracts. Historical census information for American Indians also exists through the Indian Census Rolls, which were collected from 1885 to 1940.

The map and table below give geographic data on Alabama's 9 American Indian Areas. The land and water areas are given in square miles.
