An Indian reservation is an area of land managed
An Indian reservation is an area of land managed by a Native American tribe under the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. There are about 310 Indian reservations in the United States, meaning not all of the country's 550-plus recognized tribes have a reservation some tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, while others have none. In addition, because of past land allotments, leading to some sales to non-Indians, some reservations are severely fragmented, with each piece of tribal, individual, and privately held land being a separate enclave. This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative and political/legal difficulties.[1]
The collective geographical area of all reservations is 55.7 million acres (225,410 kmē), representing 2.3% of the area of the United States (2,379,400,204 acres; 9,629,091 kmē). Twelve Indian reservations are larger than the state of Rhode Island (776,960 acres; 3,144 kmē) and nine reservations larger than Delaware (1,316,480 acres; 5,327 kmē). The territory of the Navajo Nation compares in size to West Virginia. Reservations are unevenly distributed throughout the country; the majority are west of the Mississippi River and occupy lands that were first reserved by treaty or 'granted' from the public domain
