Federally recognized Alaskan tribes and village locations

There are 229 federally recognized tribes in the state of Alaska. These tribes are eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The list of federally recognized tribes in Alaska was obtained from the National Conference of State Legislature (http://www.ncsl.org/research/state-tribal-institute/list-of-federal-and-state-recognized-tribes.aspx). Locations were assigned based on the village name, and were geolocated using the United States Geological Survey places dataset. The output data file (federally_recognized_tribes_geolocated.csv) includes the name, city, region, and coordinates associated with each federally recognized tribe in Alaska. The package also includes the .Rmd file (tribes_geolocating.Rmd) detailing the processing steps and the rendered .html file (tribes_geolocating.html), which includes a datatable and interactive map.
