First Nations Reserves are specific areas of land set aside by the government of Canada for the use of Indigenous peoples, known as First Nations. These reserves are established through treaties or agreements and are governed by the communities that reside on them. The land is often held in trust by the federal government, meaning it cannot be sold or developed without the consent of the First Nations. Reserves vary in size and can be located in rural or urban areas. They serve as important cultural and economic centers for Indigenous communities, providing a space for traditional practices, governance, and community development.
