Understanding Indian Reserves

An Indian reserve is a piece of land in Canada that the government has set aside for the use of First Nations people. These lands are managed by the First Nation communities themselves. They are not like regular towns or cities.

Why Reserves Exist

Reserves were created a long time ago through agreements called treaties. These treaties were signed between the Canadian government and First Nations. The idea was to give First Nations a place to live and keep their culture.

Life on Reserves

Life on reserves can be different from other places in Canada. Each First Nation community has its own government, often called a band council. They make decisions about their land and people. Services like schools and health care are often provided on the reserve.

The One Arrow First Nation

The One Arrow First Nation is part of the Cree nation. The Cree are one of the largest groups of Indigenous people in North America. The One Arrow First Nation has several land areas, and One Arrow 95-1A is one of them.

Location in Saskatchewan
