An Indian reservation is an area of land held and governed by a federally recognized Native American tribal nation whose government is accountable to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and not to the state government in which it is located. Some of the country's 574 federally recognized tribes govern more than one of the 326 Indian reservations in the United States,while some share reservations,and others have no reservation at all. Historical piecemeal land allocations under the Dawes Act facilitated sales to non–Native Americans,resulting in some reservations becoming severely fragmented,with pieces of tribal and privately held land being treated as separate enclaves. This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative,political and legal difficulties.
