Answer:

Indian reservation framework was established to keep Native Americans out of areas where European Americans wanted to settle. The reserve system gave indigenous community autonomy and permitted them to keep a few of their religious as well as social practises.

Modern Indian reservations dot the landscape of the United States and are administered by the Department of Indian Affairs (BIA). Every reservation's communities are self-governing and are not bound by federal legislation. They are responsible for the majority of reservation-related responsibilities, but financial assistance is provided by the national govt.
