Indian reservations

Indian reservations are designated areas of land managed by Native American tribes in the United States. These lands are recognized by the federal government, allowing tribes to exercise certain sovereign rights, including self-governance and control over resources. Reservations often serve as cultural and economic centers for Indigenous communities, allowing them to preserve their traditions and languages. However, they can also face challenges such as limited economic opportunities and social issues. The legal and political status of reservations is complex and varies by tribe, reflecting a history of treaties and negotiations between Indigenous peoples and the government.
