Central Plains
The states in this region include North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. This region is dominated by rolling plains, and contains some mountains, dry lands, wetlands, and border regions. The tribes in this region are a mixture of plains tribes, as well as tribes that were moved to this region during forced relocation. Many tribes in this region face challenges with remoteness, and access to resources. Tribes in Oklahoma also face unique jurisdictional challenges due to checkerboard allotments that often require extensive cross-jurisdictional collaborations.
