AMERICAN INDIAN AREA There are both legal and statistical American Indian entities for which the U.S. Census Bureau provides data for Census 2000. The legal entities consist of federally recognized American Indian reservations and off-reservation trust land areas, the tribal subdivisions that can divide these entities, state recognized American Indian reservations. The statistical entities are tribal designated statistical areas, and state designated American Indian statistical areas. In all cases, these areas are mutually exclusive in that no American Indian home land can overlap another tribal entity, except for tribal subdivisions, which subdivide some American Indian entities. In some cases where more than one tribe claims jurisdiction over an area, the U.S. Census Bureau creates a joint use area as a separate entity to define this area of dual claims. The following provides more detail about each of the various American Indian areas. American Indian Reservation Federal American Indian reservations are areas with boundaries established by treaty, statute, and/or executive or court order, and, along with off-reservation trust lands, are recognized by the federal government as territory in which American Indian tribes have primary governmental authority. The U.S. Census Bureau contacts representatives of American Indian tribal governments to identify the boundaries for federal reservations. State reservations are lands held in trust by state governments for the use and benefit of a given tribe. A governor-appointed state liaison provides the names and boundaries for state reservations. The names of American Indian reservations recognized by state governments, but not by the federal government, are followed by (State) in the data presentations. 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 portions of the reservations in a given state are shown in the data products for that 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 they are separate American Indian reservations for decennial census data presentation purposes. The entire reservations are shown in data products for the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau first provided data for American Indian reservations in the 1970 census. American Indian reservations are known as colonies, communities, pueblos, rancherias, ranches, reservations, reserves, tribal towns, and tribal villages. Each federal American Indian reservation is assigned a four-digit census code ranging from 0001 through 4999. These census codes are assigned in alphabetical order of American Indian reservation names nationwide, except that joint use areas appear at the end of the code range. Each state American Indian reservation is assigned a four-digit census code ranging from 9000 through 9499. Each American Indian reservation also is assigned a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code; because FIPS codes are assigned in alphabetical sequence within each state, the FIPS code is different in each state for reservations that include territory in more than one state. American Indian Off-Reservation Trust Land Off-reservation trust lands, along with reservation lands, constitute the territory over which American Indian tribes have primary governmental authority. Trust land is property associated with a particular American Indian reservation or tribe, held in trust by the federal government. Trust land may be held in trust either for a tribe (tribal trust land) or for an individual member of a tribe (individual trust land). Trust lands recognized in data tabulations are always off-reservation; that is, they comprise all tribal and individual trust lands located outside of a reservation boundary. Such trust lands may be located in more than one state. Only the portions of off-reservation trust lands in a given state are shown in the data products for that state; all off-reservation trust lands associated with a reservation or tribe are shown in data products for the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau first provided trust land data for off-reservation tribal trust lands in the 1980 census; in 1990, the trust land data included both tribal and individual trust lands. The U.S. Census Bureau does not identify restricted fee land or land in fee simple status as a specific geographic category. In decennial census data tabulations, off-reservation trust lands are assigned a four-digit census code and a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code that is the same as that for the reservation with which they are associated. As with reservations, FIPS codes for off-reservation trust lands are unique within state, so they will differ if they extend into more than one state. The FIPS codes for such off-reservation trust lands are the same as those for the associated reservation. In the TIGER/Line products, a letter code-"T" for tribal and "I" for individual-identifies off-reservation trust lands. In decennial census data tabulations, a trust land flag uniquely identifies off-reservation trust lands. Printed reports show separate tabulations for all off-reservation trust land areas, but do not provide separate tabulations for the tribal versus individual trust lands. Trust lands associated with tribes that do not have a reservation are presented and coded by tribal name, interspersed alphabetically among the reservation names. State Designated American Indian Statistical Area (SDAISA) State designated American Indian statistical areas (SDAISAs) are statistical entities for state recognized American Indian tribes that do not have a state recognized land base (reservation). SDAISAs are identified and delineated for the U.S. Census Bureau by a state liaison identified by the governor's office in each state. SDAISAs generally encompass a compact and contiguous area that contains a concentration of individuals who identify with a state recognized American Indian tribe and in which there is structured or organized tribal activity. A SDAISA may not be located in more than one state unless the tribe is recognized by both states, and it may not include area within an American Indian reservation, off-reservation trust land, Alaska Native village statistical area, tribal designated statistical area (TDSA), or Oklahoma tribal statistical area. The U.S. Census Bureau established SDAISAs as a new geographic statistical entity for Census 2000 to differentiate between state recognized tribes without a land base and federally recognized tribes without a land base. For the 1990 census, all such tribal entities had been identified as TDSAs. Each SDAISA is assigned a four-digit census code ranging from 9500 through 9999 in alphabetical sequence of SDAISA name nationwide. Each SDAISA also is assigned a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code in alphabetical order within state. Tribal Designated Statistical Area (TDSA) Tribal designated statistical areas (TDSAs) are statistical entities identified and delineated for the U.S. Census Bureau by federally recognized American Indian tribes that do not currently have a federally recognized land base (reservation or off-reservation trust land). A TDSA encompasses a compact and contiguous area that contains a concentration of individuals who identify with a federally recognized American Indian tribe and in which there is structured or organized tribal activity. A TDSA may be located in more than one state, and it may not include area within an American Indian reservation, off-reservation trust land, Alaska Native village statistical area, state designated American Indian statistical area (SDAISA), or Oklahoma tribal statistical area. The U.S. Census Bureau first reported data for TDSAs in conjunction with the 1990 census, when both federally and state recognized tribes could identify and delineate TDSAs. TDSAs now apply only to federally recognized tribes. State recognized tribes without a land base, including those that were TDSAs in 1990, are identified as state designated American Indian statistical areas (SDAISAs), a new geographic entity for Census 2000. Each TDSA is assigned a four-digit census code ranging from 8000 through 8999 in alphabetical sequence of TDSA name nationwide. Each TDSA also is assigned a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code in alphabetical order within state; because FIPS codes are assigned within each state, the FIPS code is different in each state for TDSAs that extend into more than one state. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miccosukee Indian Information Tamiami Trail Reservation The Tamiami Trail Reservation Area, which consists of four parcels of land, is located forty miles west of Miami and is presently the site of most Tribal operations. The Tamiami Trail Reservation is also the center of the Miccosukee Indian population. The first parcel is 33.3 acres (5 miles long, 500 feet deep) and is under a 50-year Use Permit from the National Park Service, which expires on January 24, 2014. The other three parcels of land which are roughly 600' x 65' are on the north side of Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41). These small plots of land were originally dedicated to the Miccosukee by the State of Florida and have since acquired Federal Reservation Status. These areas are used for commercial development, which is prohibited in the National Park Service Use Permit Area. Nevertheless, land use is planned with careful foresight, as all lands of the Miccosukee require special environmental consideration. The Tribe also has a perpetual lease from the State of Florida for 189,000 acres, which is part of the South Florida Water Management District's Water Conservation Area 3A South. The Tribe is allowed to use this land for the purpose of hunting, fishing, frogging, subsistence agriculture and to carry on the traditional Miccosukee way of life. Alligator Alley Reservation Alligator Alley is the largest of the Tribe's reservations, comprising 74,812.37 acres. It is located west of Ft. Lauderdale, lying north and south of State Highway 84 (Alligator Alley). This land consists of 20,000 acres of lands with potential for development and 55,000 acres of wetlands. The 20,000 acres of lands for development contain a modern Service Station Plaza that was built and operated by the Tribe to accommodate those traveling along SR 84; a Miccosukee Police Substation and 13,000 acres of land that is leased for cattle grazing. The Tribe has also issued temporary Occupancy and Access Permits to non-Indians for the purpose of maintaining their hunting camps on 15,000 acres of Tribal wetlands. Plans are currently underway for additional commercial and agricultural development as well as community facilities and home sites. Krome Avenue Reservation There are two reservations located at the intersection of Krome Avenue and Tamiami Trail. The first reservation area is comprised of 25 acres located on the northwest corner of the intersection and is the site of the 56,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Miccosukee Indian Gaming Facility and the new Miccosukee Resort & Convention Center. The second reservation area is .92 acres located on the southwest corner of the intersection and is the site of the Miccosukee Tobacco Shop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poarch Band of Creek Indians The Poarch Band of Creek Indians is the only federally recognized Indian Tribe in the state of Alabama, operating as a sovereign nation with its own system of government and bylaws. The Tribe operates a variety of economic enterprises, which employ hundreds of area residents. Poarch Creek Indian Gaming manages three gaming facilities in Alabama, including: the Creek Entertainment Center in Atmore; Riverside Entertainment Center in Wetumpka; and, Tallapoosa Entertainment Center in Montgomery. The Poarch Band of Creek Indians is an active partner in the state of Alabama, contributing to economic, educational, social and cultural projects benefiting both tribal members and residents of these local communities and neighboring towns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seminole Indian Information Big Cypress Reservation Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum As an educational tool for both tribal members and the non-Seminole community, the Seminole Tribe has opened a full-scale museum on the Big Cypress Reservation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

The GeoPlan Center created this layer from a conglomeration of 6 different dataset sources. The six datasets that were used to create this layer are; - Indres.shp - Amindian.shp - Parcels (2006) - PLSS.shp - WMDL_aug07.shp - Fedlandp.shp The existing features from which the layer's spatial information was derived is marked in the SOURCE field of the layer's attribute table. Using the following existing layers; Indres.shp, Amindian.shp, and Fedlandp.shp. Parcels which fell inside or near these features were examined to determine the boundaries of the specific properties (i.e. reservation lands, trust lands, other owned lands, etc.) within the layer. Selections were also performed on the Parcels ONAME, ADDR1, and ADDR2 fields in order to extract other American Indian owned properties. Where Parcels are unavailable (i.e. Everglades National Park, etc.) the PLSS.shp Layer was used in conjunction with the Indres.shp, Amindian.shp, and Fedlandp.shp layers to determine boundaries for properties (i.e. reservation lands, trust lands, other owned lands, etc.) occurring in those areas. Additionally the Miccosukee Indians Tribe also has a perpetual lease from the State of Florida for 189,000 acres, which is part of the South Florida Water Management District's Water Conservation Area 3A South. The Tribe is allowed to use this land for the purpose of hunting, fishing, frogging, subsistence agriculture and to carry on the traditional Miccosukee way of life. This area's boundary was determined spatially from a .PDF map on the Miccosukee Indians website used in conjunction with the statewide water management district lands layer WMDL_aug07.shp In order to create a more uniform boundary layer the feature sources (parcels, plss, and wmdl) were merged to create a statewide layer which was then dissolved based on Tribe, Land Name, and feature source. Next additional descriptive fields were added along with the field information from the following existing layers; Indres.shp and Amindian.shp Process Date: 20080613 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20080619
