Indigenous Reserve System

The Indigenous Reserve System is a framework where land is set aside by governments specifically for Indigenous communities. These reserves serve as protected areas that recognize Indigenous peoples' historical connections to the land and provide a space for their cultural practices, governance, and economic activities. The system aims to support self-determination and preserve Indigenous heritage, but it also involves complex legal and political relationships between Indigenous nations and the government. Reserves are often considered distinct from private property, reflecting the unique status and rights of Indigenous peoples within the broader national legal system.
