Created by and for a specific American Indian community and offering special materials related to the tribe itself, a tribal library may also serve as homework center, a reading room, a tribal archive or a community center. Entries offer information on each tribe's ethnology, language and history, location and contact details, as well as a description of collections, services and access policies. Input from library staff and patrons about what makes their libraries unique and important to their communities is also included. Maps are included to show the locations of the libraries in each state.

Chief Justice John Marshall United States Supreme Court said in Worcester v. Georgia, "Indian Nations have always been considered as distinct, independent political communities, retaining their original rights, as the undisputed possessors of the soil...The very term "nation" so generally applied to them, means "a people distinct from others." As of 2013, the United States recognized 566 American Indian tribal communities as being eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) by virtue of their official status as Indian tribes. This book presents a current listing of those recognized Indian tribes (variously called tribes, nations, bands, pueblos, communities and native villages) divided by geographic region and including: Tribal Name Geographical Region Tribal Chief, Chairman, President Address Phone Fax Website The federal listing is followed by a list of Indian tribes or groups that are recognized by the states. This acknowledges their status within the state but does not guarantee funding from the state or the federal government. State-recognized Indian tribes are not federally recognized; however, federally recognized tribes may also be state-recognized. We have also provided information regarding tribal government and its role in Indian nations today as well as current criteria for recognition as a sovereign nation under BIA guidelines. A great educational tool for the classroom.
