Indian Reserve lands are lands set aside for the exclusive use and benefits of the Bands/Nations to which it is assigned. The federal government has primary jurisdiction over these lands and the people living on them. A Band or First Nation is an administrative entity/governing body created by the Indian Act. A Band/Nation includes members of a First Nation or group for whom lands have been set apart, and for whom money is held by the Crown. Each First Nation has its own distinct culture, language, history, and governance structure. They are the primary decision-makers for their respective Indian Reserves and their members. The Government of Alberta recognizes certain nations as individuals that the Federal Government does not recognize. These Nation names will be formatted as 'Federally recognized community [Alberta Recognized Nation]'.A Tribal Council is a grouping of bands/Nations with common interests who voluntarily join together to provide advisory and/or program services to member bands. A First Nation may choose to affiliate with a Tribal Council to achieve shared goals in areas such as economic development, social services, education, or land management.</DIV></DIV></DIV> The Indian Reserve dataset provides users with GIS ready polygonal representation of all Indian Reserves in the province of Alberta, and is suitable for indexing or analysis purposes.

Public Government of Alberta Data and Information Security Classification https://imtpolicy.sp.alberta.ca/standards/Pages/Data-and-Information-Security-Classification.aspx Indian Reserves in Canada are defined by Privy Council Orders as approved from time to time and filed within the Indian Lands Registration System (ILRS) which can be accessed through https://services.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/ILRS_Public/home/home.aspx. The ILRS is a database of instruments registered in the Indian Reserve Lands Registration relating to Reserve Lands and Crown Lands. The dataset compiled is based on legal documents and legal survey plans. 1 -120.386037 -109.093776 60.036736 48.940134 Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd. Cadastral Source Data includes block, lot, plan, ownership, right-of-way and legal subdivision arcs. Base Features Source Data includes arc layers of ATS, Hydrography, Hypsography and Access. Indian Reserve boundary is built by selecting and putting available Source Data (described below) into an edit environment of the layer, to assemble the Geoadministrative Areas (GA) boundary. The GA boundary built uses Base Features (BF) Source Data which includes arc layers of Alberta Township System (ATS), Hydrography, Hypsography and Access. In cases where BF Source Data does not exist, Alberta Data Partnerships (ADP) Cadastral Source Data including block, lot, plan, ownership and right-of-way are used. Legal Subdivision (LSD) arcs supplied by ADP are also used. ATS data layer is considered to be the foundation by which all other Source Data should be registered with when the GA boundary layer is compiled. The Cadastral Source Data maintained by ADP is used in the hierarchy order of block, lot, plan and right-of-way; regardless which version it is. The ADP cadastral representation of ATS and Hydrography is not used. The ADP LSD arcs are used for boundary segments that are interpreted as aligning with legal subdivision lines according to the defining document, but the representation of Section, Quarter Section and Road Allowance are not allowed to be used as these lines should be derived from the BF ATS Source Data. If none of the above Source Data is available and the defining document refers a specific elevation or contour, Hypsography contour data is used. If no source arc for the particular contour or elevation exists, interpolation of the contour or elevation graphically is obtained by averaging between successive contours on either side of the range of elevation values. If the defining document describes a mountain peak, interpretation of the contours to determine the highest point of the peak is determined or in certain cases a spot height point in the Hypsography cartographic layer is used to identify the peak. If the defining document describes a boundary segment as Height-of-Land (HOL), HOL data is captured by digitization or graphical construction. In cases if the GA boundary is described, but no Source Data is available except from a digital reference file provided by data authority, with data authority's expressed permission, arcs are copied from the digital reference file. Segments of the boundary which adjoin to Provincial Boundary or National Park, arcs are copied from these 2 layers to define the GA boundary so that the layer does conform to these 2 key layers. Once all the Source Data has been copied and put into the edit environment, Constructed arcs are used to close polygon in cases where a gap between 2 Source Data arcs exceeds 0.001 meters. If a gap is less than 0.001 meters, one of the Source Data is extended to close the polygon, in accordance with the Source Data edit hierarchy i.e. with the highest order of importance to the least importance which is in the order of ATS, Hydrography, Hypsography, ADP data, Access, Height-of-Land or digitized arcs and digital reference file. Spatial relationship of the boundary layer compiled is maintained with the Base Features (BF) Source data and other Source Data with the geometry of all the Source Data remains unaltered throughout the editing process. Edit tolerance is set to zero for node snap and arc snap. The GA polygons compiled have all the linework precisely closed. Attribute tables are created according to item definition, with only one label point exists per GA polygon. Clean processes on the Source Data beyond the tolerances specified above are prohibited. Source Data is edited manually in order to maintain polygon topology using BUILD processes. After polygons are built, they are attributed according to the Base Features GA Specification table standard i.e. CODE and NAME. The formatted polygon attribute values are validated with Indian Reserve codes and legal names obtained from the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

The boundary was compiled in the Geoadministrative Areas Project (GA) Phase 1 (1999 / 2000). The Phase 1 GA compilation source data was obtained directly from the Data Distribution Unit of Informatics Branch as the data was not available through the departmental Alberta Data Partnerships at that time. The subsequent GA Phase 2 and Phase 3 compilation in the following years, source data were extracted from the departmental Alberta Data Partnerships which embedded "shift" during the extraction process, resulting in slight differences in position of linework of the Phase 1 GA datasets. This layer was compiled according to Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) documentation of lands proclaimed through the issuing of Orders-In-Council by the Privy Council Office of the Government of Canada. The layer does not include lands that have not been proclaimed as Indian Reserve by the Privy Council Office of the Government of Canada or lands that may be associated with other First Nations Land Claims or in a "preliminary to Indian Reserve" status. 2000-03-01T00:00:00 Indian Reserve dataset was adopted from NRCan - Canada Lands shape file downloaded from NRCan GeoGratis, which only exterior limits of reserves were captured. Names were populated according to the Base Features Geoadministrative Areas Specification standard. The NRCan administrative boundaries were compiled from the Legal Surveys Division's cadastral datasets and survey records archived in the Canada Lands Survey Records. The data set is not to be used for defining boundaries. Administrative decisions should be based on legal documents and legal survey plans. 2005-11-01T00:00:00 Update: Alexander 134 (Fox Creek) was amended to Alexander 134. Alexander 134A was amended to Alexander 134A (Fox Creek). 2006-03-01T00:00:00 Addition: Fort McKay 174C. 2007-02-01T00:00:00 Informatics Branch terminated the conversion of NRCan - Canada Lands shape file. Instead, Base Features standard of layer was adopted once again and the linework reconciled to ATS v4.1. 2007-10-01T00:00:00 Informatics Branch terminated conversion of NRCan Shape file. Base Features version became active. 2007-10-01T00:00:00 Spelling correction & boundary changed. 2008-01-01T00:00:00 Update: Makaoo IR No. 120 - remove Saskatchewan portion 2008-12-01T00:00:00 Update: Reconcile boundary arcs with the most current ADP 2007 data and CONS arcs which associate with the ADP data to align with Wildland Park (Birch Mountains, Colin-Cornwall lakes, Hay-Zama Lakes) for: Collin Lake No. 223, Cornwall Lake No. 224, Namur River No. 174A, Namur Lake No. 174B, Hay Lake No. 209 and Zama Lake No. 210. 2009-02-01T00:00:00 Reconciled and conformed to ATS V4.1 Alberta Provincial Boundary which was compiled by Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd.

The removed polygons were those that had no attribute data. They were mostly polygons overlapping lakes and roads that weren't part of Reserve lands but needed to be filled due to scripted processes that are now obsolete. All deleted polygons were confirmed to be absent from the federal dataset. Deleted polygons include OID 13, 45, 46, 47, 49, 56, 124, 145, 156, 519, 520, 521, 522, 530, 542, 576, 524, 525, 526, 527, 570. OID 617 was noted to be part of the Tsuu T'ina Reservation in the federal dataset. It was determined through communications with the City of Calgary, Geospatial Business Solutions Division, that the Block 1 of Plan 2251JK is a cancelled title (13 Dec, 2013) that no longer exists and is combined with the Tsuu T'ina Reservation. Due to this, we dissolved OID 617 into 624. 2024-01-23T00:00:00 Update: Corrected the boundary between the Tsuu T'ina Reservation and the City of Calgary (Block RB, Plan 1521 LK (LTO)).
