Arizona Tribal Profiles, Data and Research Policies

There are 22 federally recognized tribes in Arizona. NPTAO has worked with many Native Nations across the state of Arizona to obtain copies of the most up-to-date policies and protocols that control research processes and outline procedures for conducting research. Where possible, they are provided here. In cases where no written policies exist, decision-making power vested with Native Nations to allow research activities within reservation boundaries may be found in a Tribe's constitution, also provided below when possible. To view a Tribe's community profile, current leadership roster, current census-based snapshot and business reports*, and any available relevant guidelines/policies, click on the Tribe name below or in our interactive map.
