reservation lands
Indigenous designated areas
Reservation lands are territories set aside by the U.S. government for Native American tribes, held in trust and subject to tribal sovereignty rather than state jurisdiction.
The term appears in legal and administrative contexts: The pipeline would cross reservation lands.
Similar arrangements exist in Canada and other countries with indigenous populations.
