State tax filing

No, even if you are Native American, if you are an employee, there is not a special deduction for housing costs on the reservation whether or not you are forced to live there in order to do the job you are doing or not. 

 

The only way your rent would be deductible is if you were self-employed and traveling from your tax home more than 50 miles away to stay on the reservation for your self-employed position.
