across a bunch of the states, I'm not sure that would be feasible.

I suppose you could group the ones in Arizona and New Mexico together and make one state, and then all the reservations in the Northeast another, and so on. You'd probably get at least 5 or 6 states that way. There are 326 reservations, and over 500 tribes, meaning a good number of recognized tribes don't have their own reservations.

Here in New Mexico we call them Pueblos. There are 19 of them.

To be helpful, here's a link to the Wikipedia article about reservations.
