OBS

Les termes « tribu », « bande » et « réserve » ne sont pas des synonymes parfaits. Une tribu peut comprendre plusieurs familles et bandes. Une « réserve » constitue une entité géographique assez grande pour héberger les membres d'une tribu. Selon certains autochtones, le terme « tribu » n'a pas la connotation négative que revêt le terme « réserve », ce qui rappelle la dominance de la race Blanche.
