An American Indian reservation is an area of land held and governed by a U.S. federal government-recognized Native American tribal nation,whose government is sovereign,subject to regulations passed by the United States Congress and administered by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs,and not to the U.S. 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.

Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Area is a statistical entity identified and delineated by federally recognized American Indian tribes in Oklahoma as part of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 Census and ongoing American Community Survey. Many of these areas are also designated Tribal Jurisdictional Areas, areas within which tribes will provide government services and assert other forms of government authority. They differ from standard reservations,such as the Osage Nation of Oklahoma,in that allotment was broken up and as a consequence their residents are a mix of native and non-native people,with only tribal members subject to the tribal government. At least five of these areas,those of the so-called five civilized tribes of Cherokee,Choctaw,Chickasaw,Creek and Seminole,which cover 43% of the area of the state,are recognized as reservations by federal treaty,and thus not subject to state law or jurisdiction for tribal members.
