UNITED STATES TRIBES & PEOPLE

There are 568 federally recognized tribes in the United States. Of these 229 are located in Alaska and the remainder are spread across 33 other states.

The 2010 U.S. Census reported 2.9 million people with pure American Indian and Alaska Native ancestry. Native Americans of mixed race totaled 2.3 million.

The combined U.S. population in 2010 was 5.2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. About 78% of people of Native American ancestry live outside the Reservation. 

The 5 states with the most indigenous population are these:

• California 362,801

• Oklahoma 321,687

• Arizona 296,529

• New Mexico 193,222

• Texas 170,972

According to CNN, In 2020, the number of people who identified as Native American and Alaska Native (AIAN) alone and in combination with another race was 9.7 million, up from 5.2 million in 2010.  This is a 160% increase. This is because more people self-identify as being part Native American, especially Latino people.
