How do these aspects of Indian Reserves work in Canada?
There's some differences from how they work in the United States I noticed.
- Why do some of them have numbers after the name?
This list shows that there are ones like Big Grassy River 35G and Black River 9 with numbers after the name. In the United States, they never have numbers after the name.
- What are Urban Indian Reserves like?
Canada has Urban Indian Reserves, which I'm not aware the United States has. How large are they usually? What kinds of places do they usually have inside them? How common is it for people from cities to drive through them when going somewhere?
- Are there any ones that are more well known than others in Canada?
Some in the United States like the Navajo Nation and Pine Ridge Indian Reservation are way more well known than other ones. Does Canada have any that are more well known than the majority of them, or is there more parity in how well known they are?
This is my friend. Sheβs anti left, gates pride parades and anything to do with it, and thinks that Native people in Canada donβt pay taxes (they do unless working or buying something on an Indian reserve).
