From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of Alberta Indian Reserves)
First Nations reserves were established in Alberta by a series of treaties, Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8.
Reserves in Alberta cover a total area of 1,622,630 acres (6,566.69 km2) and range from 1,089 acres (4.41 km2) to 354,667 acres (1,435 km2) in size.[1]
Under the British North America Act, legislative authority over Indian reserves is placed exclusively with the national parliament and specifically the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Local administration is placed with local native governments.
