What was the first Indian reservation?

Answer 1

The very first Indian reservation in North America was established on August 1, 1758 in New Jersey by the New Jersey Colonial Assembly. It was a "permanent home" for the Lenni-Lenape people. It was established in Burlington County. After many events, the Nj Assembly agreed to sell the reservation and give the profits to the remaining tribal members, which now only numbered 85.

Nope--the first are the Mattaponi Indian Reservation and the Pamunkey Reservations. They were established by an act of the Virginia General Assembly in 1658 and both are still in existence today.

The Mashantucket Pequot Indian Reservation was created by the Connecticut Colony in 1666. The reservation still exists on the Thames River in New London County near the town of Ledyard in Connecticut. Over the years, the state took more and more of the reservation as some of the people left in order to survive. If it had not been for the last three elderly women who remained on the reservation, it would have ended up being sold like the one in New Jersey--but those three ladies gathered their families and other Pequot together in 1970 and the people fought to have their stolen land restored and some of it was returned. This first reservation still exists today.

Try again...the first reservation was established by the Puritans in 1638 near New Haven, CT. for the Quinnipiac Indians.
