In addition, the majority of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation in the US, and the entire Tohono O'odham Nation, the second largest, are located in Arizona. Over a quarter of the area of the state is reservation land.
Twenty tribes are members of the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA).
