Population is the 2020 Census count of people identifying as American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination, rounded down to the nearest thousand. Rank uses the same count. Tribe totals reflect headquarters and official state recognition; federal and state counts may overlap. The Iowa Tribe and the Sac and Fox Nation, both headquartered in Kansas, also have reservation land in Nebraska. Nebraska has no process for recognizing tribes.
