What is an Indian Reserve?

In Canada, an Indian reserve is a specific area of land that the government has set aside for the use and benefit of First Nations people. These lands are managed by the First Nation communities themselves. They are important places where First Nations people can live, practice their culture, and keep their traditions alive.

Purpose of Reserves

Reserves were created a long time ago. They were meant to be permanent homes for Indigenous communities. Today, they help First Nations maintain their unique ways of life. They also allow communities to govern themselves on their own lands.

Location in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is one of Canada's prairie provinces. It is known for its wide-open spaces and rich history. Many First Nations communities, like the One Arrow First Nation, have reserves located throughout Saskatchewan. These reserves are important parts of the province's cultural landscape.

The One Arrow First Nation
