What it is Filled
Geographic territories occupied primarily by Indigenous or tribal peoples, whether formally recognised or not, including inhabited traditional territories without legal recognition and lands set aside for, recognised as belonging to or governed by Indigenous peoples under national law or agreements; recognised categories include reserves in Canada, reservations and trust lands in the United States, including off-reservation trust land, and categories created in northern Quebec under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement of 1975 and the Northeastern Quebec Agreement of 1978, such as Cree and Inuit reserved lands, Cree villages, the Naskapi village municipality and northern villages in Nunavik; land rights, self-government and treaty obligations are central and sometimes contested issues, and perspectives of Indigenous nations and governments are attributed.
