Do Indians still live on reservations in America today?
Question: Please, I have a question. I’m living in Spain, and my english isn’t good. Today do there exist some reserve with native indians in America? –Submitted by Eva X.J. from Spain Answer: There are over 600 Indian tribes still living in the US and several hundred more in Canada. Some tribes have less than 10 members such as some of the California tribes which are nearly extinct, and some tribes have thousands of members. The largest tribe is the Navajo with nearly half a million enrolled members. You can find population statistics as of the year 2000 in a PDF file here. In Canada tribal lands are called a Reserve and in the United States we call them Reservations. Most tribes have one or more reservations or reserves, and some tribes share a reservation, such as the Arapaho and Shoshone tribes both share the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, USA. Some tribes don’t have a reservation because they no longer have any land left, and some tribes have both a reservation and a reserve
