Abstract:
This shapefile contains the boundaries of the Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas and Reservations that are part of the Census 2000 American Indian Areas/Alaska Native Areas/Hawaiian Home Lands.
Purpose:
The purpose of this shapefile is to give general reference to the extent of the Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas and Reservations.
Supplemental_Information:
Oklahoma tribal statistical areas (OTSAs) are statistical entities identified and delineated by the Census Bureau in consultation with federally recognized American Indian tribes in Oklahoma that do not currently have a reservation, but once had a reservation in that state. Boundaries of OTSAs will be those of the former reservations in Oklahoma, except where modified by agreements with neighboring tribes for data presentation purposes. OTSAs replace the "tribal jurisdiction statistical areas" of the 1990 census. The Census Bureau first provided data for the previous Oklahoma reservations in conjunction with the 1980 census, when the Census Bureau defined a single all-encompassing geographic entity called the "Historic Areas of Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas)." 

Federal American Indian reservations are areas that have been set aside by the United States for the use of tribes, the exterior boundaries of which are more particularly defined in the final tribal treaties, agreements, executive orders, federal statutes, secretarial orders, or judicial determinations. The Census Bureau recognizes federal reservations as territory over which American Indian tribes have primary governmental authority. These entities are known as colonies, communities, pueblos, rancherias, ranches, reservations, reserves, villages, Indian communities, and Indian villages. The Bureau of Indian Affairs maintains a list of federally recognized tribal governments. The Census Bureau contacts representatives of American Indian tribal governments to identify the boundaries for federal reservations. Federal reservations may cross state boundaries, and federal and state reservations may cross county, county subdivision, and place boundaries. For reservations that cross state boundaries, only the parts of the reservations in a given state are shown in the data products for the state. Lands that are administered jointly and/or are claimed by two tribes, whether federally or state recognized, are called "joint use areas," and are treated as if these areas are separate American Indian reservations for statistical purposes. The entire reservations are shown in data products for the United States. The Census Bureau first provided these data for American Indian reservations in the 1970 census.
