Resource Abstract:
- description: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic
information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however,
each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire
nation. American Indian tribal subdivisions are administrative subdivisions of federally recognized American Indian reservations/off-reservation
trust lands or Oklahoma tribal statistical areas (OTSAs). These entities are internal units of self-government and/or administration
that serve social, cultural, and/or economic purposes for the American Indian tribe or tribes on the reservations/off-reservation
trust lands or OTSAs. The Census Bureau obtains the boundary and attribute information for tribal subdivisions on federally
recognized American Indian reservations and off-reservation trust lands from federally recognized tribal governments through
the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). For the 2010 Census, the boundaries for tribal subdivisions
on OTSAs were also obtained from federally recognized tribal governments through the Tribal Statistical Areas Program (TSAP).
Note that tribal subdivisions do not exist on all reservations/off-reservation trust lands or OTSAs, rather only where they
were submitted to the Census Bureau by the federally recognized tribal government for that area. The boundaries for American
Indian tribal subdivisions are as of January 1, 2017, as reported by the federally recognized tribal governments through the
Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries for tribal subdivisions on OTSAs are those reported
as of January 1, 2010 through TSAP.; abstract: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract
