Note on Indian Reserves in the Census of Canada. The 1851–1921 censuses enumerated First Nations populations on reserves inconsistently across years and regions, sometimes naming individual reserves and sometimes aggregating them under a generic "Indian Reserves" bundle per Census District. This page reflects the historical census record as published; it is not an authoritative description of any specific First Nation, band, or reserve. For accurate information, consult the annual reports of the Department of Indian Affairs (1864–present, available through Library and Archives Canada), the Indigenous Services Canada First Nation Profiles, and First Nations communities directly.

Spatial polygon overlaps with adjacent census years where the boundary shifted enough that the SAME_AS chain didn't merge them. These show where the territory came from and went to even when it isn't tracked as the same persistent place.

Later boundary forms

In a later year, this CSD became part of Indian reserves, 1921 (6.8% share).
