An Indian Reservation is an area of land within the U.S. that was owned by the U.S. government and that has been dedicated to a tribe of native Americans (American Indians) as a place where they may live and govern themselves independent of the U.S. government, as if it were separate countries. These reservations were established when the native Americans were forced from their original lands in the 18th and 19th centuries. Reservations were established in locations considered not to be worth having, as in the western desert regions. Subsequently, oil was discovered on some of these reservations, and those native Americans who live there prospered because the oil belonged to them.
