On August 29, 1758, European colonists established the first Indian reservation in what would be the United States, in Shamong Township, New Jersey. The 3,000-acre reservation was created for the local Lenape(sometimes called Delaware) community, and called the Brotherton reservation.

 

Today, more than a million Native Americans live on 310 reservations across the United States. Reservations are autonomous, with their own laws and police forces. The largest reservation is the Navajo Nation, it occupies 17.5 million acres in northeastern Arizona, New Mexico, and southern Utah.
