Data is not available for the three native american Seer Registries: Alaska (AK-NAT), Arizona (AZ-NAT), and a set of counties in Oklahoma (OK-CHE). These Seer Registries are included for completeness. The alias match strings allows the package to attempt to match location identifiers generated by the Seer*Stat website instead of having the caller re-label all of the records and possibly made an error. The recommendation is to point package at the column and see what happens.
