Lands that have been permanently set aside for the use of Native Americans, known variously as 'tribal lands' and 'Indian country', also turn out to be a vital energy resource. There are four types of such lands:
- Those under the supervision of the United States government, held under the auspices and guardianship of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
- Allotted lands that are subject to state and local taxation
- Restricted status lands, where title to the land is held by an individual Indian person or tribe
- State Indian reservations, lands held in trust by a state for an Indian tribe
Taken together, these lands are estimated to hold about 20 percent of the nation's extractable fossil fuels, and 10 percent of its renewable resources. While oil and gas exploration has occurred on many of these lands over the past several decades, recent government measures have stimulated more expansive energy development.
