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. Vermont recognizes four Abenaki tribes through acts of its legislature. Abenaki First Nations in Canada dispute this recognition.
