Abstract:  This dataset consists of polygons representing Indian Reservations in the County of San Diego as documented by the County of San Diego Assessor's Office, Mapping Division. An Indian Reservation is an area of land managed by a native American tribe under the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. The polygons are intended to represent those lands recognized as part of the Indian Nation by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The data does not include parcels that may be owned by a Tribe but which are not officially recognized as reservation lands by BIA.Because tribes possess tribal sovereignty, even though it is limited, laws on tribal lands vary from the surrounding area. These laws can permit legal casinos on reservations for example. The tribal council, not the local or federal government, generally has jurisdiction over reservations. Most Indian reservations were established by the federal government. The name "reservation" comes from the conception of the Indian tribes as independent sovereigns at the time of the U.S. Constitution was ratified. This layer was created by the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and rectified to the SanGIS landbase by the County Department of Public Works. SanGIS subsequently accepted responsibility for this layer and performs updates solely as directed by the County of San Diego Assessor. Most Indian Reservation updates are received through Assessor pages, recorded documents or recorded maps. The attributes for this layer came from the Home | Indian Affairs (bia.gov) and are not maintained by SanGIS. Although we rectified to SanGIS parcels; accuracy of reservation boundaries is not guaranteed due to the lineage of this data layer.
