The text located at the top of the map (to the right of the main title) reads:

INDIAN AND INUIT COMMUNITIES

There are no Inuit Settlements or Other Indian or Inuit Communities in British Columbia.

Note:

No definite statement of the precise legal status of Indian Reserve or Settlement land can be made without extensive enumeration of particular cases. In general terms, an Indian Reserve is a tract of land the legal title to which is vested in Her Majesty, and which has been set apart for the use and benefit of an Indian Band. The Indian Reserves are administered under the terms of the Indian Act, R.S.C. 1970.

Indian or Inuit Settlements, although situated on Crown Land, are not subject to the terms of the Indian Act.

Other Indian or Inuit Communities represent distinct centres of native population.

No information is shown for Reserves, Settlements or Other Communities outside the Province of British Columbia.

Location information for Indian and Inuit Communities is based on data available as of October, 1990.
