Tribes can participate in First Things First in one of two ways: by electing to have their tribal lands treated as separate regions by the statewide FTF Board, or by electing to have their tribal lands treated as part of the FTF regions in which their lands are geographically located. To date, 19 federally recognized tribes have elected to participate in First Things First (10 as separate regions, and nine as part of the region in their geographic area). The Gila River Indian Community and Salt River Pima\-Maricopa Indian Community are located within the Phoenix Regional Area.*** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
