I can't find good maps of either of these states online. Does anybody know if there are lands specifically reserved for Native Peoples in Alaska and Hawaii? I can only find information for the contiguous 48 states.

I do not know about Hawaii but Alaska has only one official reservation. It is Metlakatla on Annette island located south of Ketchikan.

Alaska doesn't have reservations per se, but native corporation lands. Unlike lower a 48 rez, native corporation lands retain their own mineral rights and other rights, as well as larger land areas. The Alaskan model, devised in the 60s and 70s, has become a more progressive model for resolution of native land claims in other parts of the world as well.

Also, not all Alaskan natives are grouped ethnically as "Native Americans" as the term is generally used. Aleutians are more closely related to Pacific islanders, and Inuit (Eskimoes) are a also a seperate and distinct ethnicity.

I don't know about Hawaii.
