Native American reservations

Native American reservations are designated areas of land in the United States where specific Native American tribes have sovereignty and can govern themselves. Established through treaties, these lands are meant to preserve the culture, rights, and identity of Indigenous peoples. Reservations often face challenges such as economic development, access to services, and legal jurisdiction issues. The tribes have the authority to create their own laws and manage resources within the reservations, differing significantly from state governance. Understanding reservations involves recognizing their historical context, legal status, and the ongoing relationship between Native tribes and the federal government.
