List of Indian reservations in the United States


This is a list of Indian reservations and other tribal homelands in the United States. In Canada, the Indian reserve is a similar institution.

Federally recognized reservations

Most of the tribal land base in the United States was set aside by the federal government as Native American Reservations. In California, about half of its reservations are called rancherías. In New Mexico, most reservations are called Pueblos. In some western states, notably Nevada, there are Native American areas called Indian colonies. Populations are total census counts and include non-Native American people as well, sometimes making up a majority of the residents.
Of the 3,796,742 square miles comprising the United States, the following reservations total 49,933 square miles, or roughly 1.3% of the total area.
