I guess that's why to this day none of them own any land. The houses on the reserves, or at least the land they're on, is owned by the Nation, not the resident that lives on any specific piece of the reserve.

Kinda weird though, they've adopted so much of our technology and lifestyle, yet few assimilate.
The legal owner of the land is in fact the crown, however members of band can have certificate of possession on a piece of land that gives them the exclusive use of that land as long as they live on the reserve. It also gives them the right to give, sell or leave to anyone else in the band.
