What would you do to change it if you were king for a day? Just boot them off and let them fend for themselves? Give them the land to manage individually and see where they end up? Sell the reserves and divide up the money?

The problem is that the reserves have little to no economic purpose. There might be some farming or rural industry, etc. but without economic purpose, there is no competitive pressure, no increased productivity, etc. and therefore no increase in the quality of life. Without ambition and with apathy, and "free-rides", you get communities that produce nothing and do nothing to advance themselves.
