Tribal climate resilience liaisons technically assist Tribal Nations and Alaska Native Villages in response to specific, yet diverse challenges faced from increasing environmental hazards and extreme weather events. Tribal liaisons serve as extension agents, facilitating research, linking Tribal needs to available resources, and coordinating trainings, workshops, forums and exchanges. The CASC network is comprised of the National CASC (NCASC) and nine regional CASCs, covering the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawai'i, the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands, and the U.S. Caribbean. Each regional CASC is based out of a host university in their region and is comprised of multi-institution consortia including university and non-university partners. This directory was designed as a to be a tool to help locate and contact CASC liaisons located throughout the United States. The reference map is also designed to reflect the general locations of BIA regional and agency offices and tribal government headquarters. The locations of tribal and federal offices shown in this map viewer are not to be used for legal purposes, and the BIA does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

BIE Schools

There are 187 Bureau-funded elementary and secondary schools on 64 reservations in 23 states, serving approximately 40,000 Indian students. Of these, 58 are BIE-operated and 129 are tribally controlled under BIE contracts or grants.  The Bureau also funds or operates off-reservation boarding schools and peripheral dormitories near reservations for public school students. The BIE also serves American Indian and Alaska Native post-secondary students through higher education scholarships and support funding for tribal colleges and universities. The BIE directly operates two post-secondary institutions: the Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) in Lawrence, Kansas, and the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Native American boarding schools and dormitories were established in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The land where the schools are located is administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs while the facilities and there operation is under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Education. As stated in Title 25 CFR Part 32.3, BIE’s mission is to provide quality education opportunities from early childhood through life in accordance with a tribe’s needs for cultural and economic well-being, in keeping with the vast diversity of Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages as distinct cultural and governmental entities. Further, the BIE is to manifest consideration of the whole person by considering the individual's spiritual, mental, physical, and cultural aspects within his or her family and tribal or village context. The BIE school system employs thousands of teachers, administrators and support personnel, while many more work in tribal school systems.

BIA-OJS 2018 TLOA Report

<p>The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, Public Law 111-211 (TLOA) was designed to provide greater freedom for Tribal nations to design and operate their own justice systems, making Federal departments and agencies more accountable in their service of Native people and lands. TLOA specifically requires the BIA Office of Justice Services (OJS) to report on spending, staffing, and unmet needs for PS&amp;J programs in Indian Country. This report includes spending and staffing data for 2021, as well as annual cost estimates, for PS&amp;J programs. The spending displayed may vary slightly from enacted amounts due to reprogramming of funds by BIA or Tribes. To meet the reporting requirements of TLOA, this report equates spending with BIA-obligated funding for PS&amp;J programs and staffing with the filled Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions in BIA-operated PS&amp;J programs plus estimates of FTE for Tribally-operated BIA-funded PS&amp;J programs. As a proxy for unmet needs, the report provides an estimate of total annual costs to operate appropriate-sized, fully staffed Law Enforcement andDetention/Corrections programs, as well as Tribal Courts, in Indian Country. This report does not include any funding made available for PS&amp;J purposes in Indian Country on a permanent or one-time basis by organizations other than BIA. Tribal PS&amp;J programs occasionally receive funding from Federal, State, and Tribal organizations other than BIA. The full scope of unmet needs cannot be addressed without considering non-BIA sources of funding, on which data are not readily available. To ensure consistency of data, this report uses models to estimate annual program costs and FTE needs across the board. Previous BIA efforts to use a web-based data collection survey tool accessible to Tribes on the BIA webpage, www.bia.gov, yielded information that varied substantially in degrees of completeness and proved difficult to verify. TLOA requires BIA to submit a detailed spending report and the methodology used to disburse funds for PS&amp;J programs administered by OJS. OJS allocates its recurring appropriations to 191 Law Enforcement programs; 96 Detention/Corrections programs (for 55 Tribes); 15 district, headquarters, and support offices; 230+ TribalCourts; and other BIA agency offices that support PS&amp;J programs. The BIA funds are spent either by BIA to deliver direct services or by Tribes when they contract services with funds transmitted to the Tribes through self-determination contracts or self-governance compacts, pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, P.L. 93-638.</p>

BIA Surface Inventory (Navajo Region), 2025

<p>Surface trust lands are displayed and summarized in a table by Tribal entity. A Tribal entity may be a federally recognized tribe or a constituent component of a federally recognized tribe. For each Tribal entity in the table the total trust acreage is given as well as the breakout of tribal trust and allotted trust acreage. Tribal trust lands are those where a tribe is the named landowner, and the tribe has a full percentage ownership interest in the tract division. Allotted trusts consist of two definitions of allotted. An allotted land may be a land where the tribe is the named landowner but only has a partial percentage interest in the tract division. An allotted land may also be one in which an individual associate of a tribe has any percentage ownership. A trust land would be any tribal, or allotted land that can be tied back the tribal entity. For any regional trust lands that do not have an identified entity interest or have a split entity interest that does not have a clear definition of the split, the trust lands are summarized in a row labeled undesignated. The Land Area Representation (LAR), BIA Regional Boundaries, Regional and BIA offices, as well as tribal entities without land are added in each region and adjacent territories when suitable to provide context. The tribal entity names are given by common use names instead of federal register names and may be further split into subdivisions within the recognized tribe. The Land Area Representation (LAR) is a combined dataset which creates a union of trust lands and reservation extents. The polygons are organized around tribal divisions and groupings and lack disambiguation between the trust land and reservation extent components. Due to the static creation date the LAR may not match different sources for components of the LAR. The Trust Asset and Accounting Management System (TAAMS) which is the system of record for trust lands is the source for records used in acreage calculations. &nbsp;(Last calculated May 2025) Tribal lands are lands where the tribe is the named landowner, and the tribe has a full percentage ownership interest of a tract division. Allotted lands are those in which the tribe is the named landowner but is a partial percentage ownership interest of a tract division, or an allotment may be individually owned by a tribe associate with any percentage ownership interest in a tract division. Trust lands are the summed totals of tribal and allotted interests for a tribal entity. LAR – Land Area Representation is a combined dataset which creates a union of trust lands and reservation extents. The polygons are organized around tribal divisions and groupings and lack disambiguation between the trust land and reservation extent components.

BIA Mapped Tribal Tracts

<p>The BIA TAAMS Mapped Tribal Tracts and BIA TAAMS Mapped Tribal Parcels datasets depict tracts and parcels with Tribal ownership or are allotted. This dataset is organized y Land Area Code and Tract Number. This dataset is updated as mapped parcels are updated. This dataset only displayed mapped Tracts and Parcels and it may not be a full picture of Tribal Tracts and Parcels. If a parcel cannot be mapped for any reason, it may not be displayed in this dataset, thus this dataset should not be considered a complete picture of Tribal land. The BIA Mapped Tribals Tract and BIA Mapped Tribals Parcels servicesdisplay the same data. A parcel is a subdivision of a tract. Ownership is indicated in both the Tract and Parcel dataset in the 'Ownership' field. An Ownership value of 'T' indicates Tribally-ownership and an ownership value of 'A' indicates the tract and parcel is allotted. The Division of Land Titles and Records (DLTR) compiled the data to support the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The source information for tract data is the Trust Asset and Accounting Management System (TAAMS), which is the system of record.</p>

BIA AIAN Tribal Statistical Areas

In Oklahoma, historic depictions of the land areas representations, as described in 1867-1870, were developed and called Tribal Statistical Areas (TSA) in the AIAN-LAR. These areas are similar to the Bureau of Census Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas (TSA) which are areas used for the collection, tabulation and presentation of decennial census data for the 36 Federally-recognized American Indian Tribes located in the state. 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 Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) recommends consultation with the appropriate tribe and then the BIA to obtain interpretations of the reservation boundary. 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 the 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’s position on the jurisdictional status of Indian country. Ownership and jurisdictional status is subject to change and must be verified with plat books, patents, and deeds in the appropriate federal and state offices.

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: HOVE

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Tribal Colleges and Universities Directory

<p>Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) are chartered by their respective tribal governments, including the ten tribes within the largest reservations in the United States. The 35 accredited TCUs operate more than 90 campuses and sites in 15 states—covering most of Indian Country—and serve students from well more than 250 federally recognized Indian tribes. TCUs vary in enrollment (size), focus (liberal arts, sciences, workforce development/training), location (woodlands, desert, frozen tundra, rural, urban), and student population (predominantly American Indian). However, tribal identity is the core of every TCU, and they all share the mission of tribal self-determination and service to their respective communities.</p><p>These academically rigorous institutions engage in partnerships with organizations including U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and universities nationwide to support research and education programs that focus on issues such as climate change, sustainable agriculture, water quality, wildlife population dynamics, and diabetes prevention. Many support distance learning involving state-of-the-art learning environments.</p>
