Federal Indian Reservation and Off Reservation Trust Land Populations by State

Discussions of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction should consider the rights and welfare of non-member residents on Indian reservations who are denied the right to vote and participate in the affairs of tribal governments. All reservation residents may be denied the right to sue tribal governments for violating their state and federal constitutional protections.
