* Metric Name: Tribal Land Designations *  

* Tier: 1  

* Data Vintage: 2022  

* Unit Of Measure: Binary, 0 (Presence), 1 (Absence)  

* Represent element and pillar: Yes  

* Type and distribution of data: Binary distribution representing presences/absences. Raw data range from 1 to 1.  

* Translation: Where are tribal land designations?  

* Translation method and outcome: Raw data values translated to **** range from +1 to -1 representing more favorable to less favorable conditions, respectively. **** The proposition of more favorable is based on the objective of understanding where community investments are more critical (positive linear slope). More favorable (translated to +1) set at 1, and less favorable (translated to -1) set at > 0\.

* Metric Definition and Relevance: Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribes. These boundaries have been clipped to the boundary of California so that only the portions of each Tribal area that fall within California are included. For purposes of this designation, a Tribe may establish that a particular area of land is under its control even if not represented as such on CalEPA’s DAC map and therefore should be considered a DAC by requesting a consultation with the CalEPA Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs and Border Relations at [TribalAffairs@calepa.ca.gov](mailto:TribalAffairs@calepa.ca.gov)
