Tribal Leaders Directory CSV/Excel Dataset

A comma-separated values (CSV) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. CSV is a common data exchange format that is widely supported by consumer, business, and scientific applications. Each line of the file is a data record and each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas.

Viewing contact information, analyzing data, and creating mail-merges are a few common use-cases for CSV.

It's important to note that the Directory is not an official listing of federally recognized Tribes. It should be used in conjunction with the Federal Register Notice of Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs (81 Fed. Reg. 26826), which is the official listing of all federally recognized Tribes in the United States, pursuant to the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-454, 108 Stat. 4791-4792). As Tribal elections and other changes in Tribal leadership occur at various times throughout the year, the Directory's information is the most currently available at the time of its update and approval. Because the BIA cannot track all Tribal leadership changes in real time, it does not guarantee the accuracy of the Directory's Tribal contact information. The reference map is also designed to reflect the general locations of BIA regional and agency offices and Tribal government headquarters. The locations of Tribal and federal offices shown in this map viewer are not to be used for legal purposes, and the BIA does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. To learn more about the Directory and map, contact the BIA Division of Tribal Government Services at (202) 513-7641.
