Summarize this article for a 10 year old
An urban Indian reserve (French: réserve indienne urbaine) is land that the Government of Canada has designated as a First Nations reserve that is situated within an urban area.[1] Such lands allow for aboriginal commercial ventures which enjoy the tax exemptions offered to traditional reserves.[2] They may be located within either a municipality or, in the case of Saskatchewan, a Northern Administration District.[1]
An urban reserve may result from either encroachment of a municipal area into existing reserve lands, or from the designation of land in an existing urban territory.[3]
Some commercial urban reserves exist as satellites to rural reserves. It has been suggested that the generated revenue will help maintain the economic well-being of the associated rural community.
