List of Indian reserves in Canada

Canada has numerous Indian reserves, also known as First Nations reserves, for First Nations people, which were mostly established in 1876 by the Indian Act and have been variously expanded and reduced by royal commissions since. They are sometimes incorrectly called by the American term "reservations".
