Preferred term

reservation system  

Definition(s)

  • Reservations were small areas of unwanted land on which Indigenous Peoples were forced to live after the United States seized their original homelands. The conditions of their confinement are another ugly chapter in U.S. history because they lived in poverty with virtually no human rights granted by the government.
