Abstract

"This paper examines within an historical and judicial context the 'federalization' of Indian reserves and the use of the concept of the usufruct in defining the nature of Indian interest in reserve lands after Confederation. It builds on the material contained in his previous report entitled "Canada's Indian Reserves: Pre-Confederation", which provides an historical analysis of the Indian interest in reserve lands prior to Confederation."--Preface.
