2011 National Household Survey (NHS) codebook

Introduction The National Household Survey (NHS) is a voluntary, self-administered survey, introduced as a replacement for the long census questionnaire, more widely known as Census Form 2B. A random sample of 4.5 million households was invited to respond to the NHS in Spring and Summer 2011 (The reference date of the NHS is May 10, 2011, the date of the 2011 Census of Population). NHS target population The NHS covers all persons who usually live in Canada, in the provinces and the territories. It includes persons who live on Indian reserves and in other Indian settlements, permanent residents, non-permanent residents such as refugee claimants, holders of work or study permits, and members of their families living with them. Foreign residents such as representatives of a foreign government assigned to an embassy, high commission or other diplomatic mission in Canada, members of the armed forces of another country stationed in Canada, and residents of another country who are visiting Canada temporarily are not covered by the NHS. The survey also excludes persons living in institutional collective dwellings such as hospitals, nursing homes and penitentiaries; Canadian citizens living in other countries; and full-time members of the Canadian Forces stationed outside Canada. Also excluded are persons living in non-institutional collective dwellings such as work camps, hotels and motels, and student residences. Comparison with other data sources As with all data sources produced by Statistics Canada, the quality of the 2011 NHS microdata file was evaluated internally prior to release. As part of this evaluation, the data were compared, to the extent possible, with other data sources. Comparability of the NHS data across data sources is affected by differences in survey target populations or administrative sources, survey sampling and collection methodologies; survey objectives, question wording, format, examples and instructions; approaches to data processing; the social and political climate at the time of data collection; and other factors. For specific information on the compatibly of each NHS Subject Matter area, please review the NHS reference guides listed below. Each guide contains definitions and explanations of concepts, classifications, data quality and comparability to other sources. Response rates The final response rate for the NHS was 68.6%. This rate is similar to rates on other voluntary surveys conducted by Statistics Canada. For more information on the response rates of specific geographies please see the following:

Data quality indicators Data quality indicators (commonly referred to as data quality flags) are attached to each place of residence standard geographic area included in the 2011 NHS microdata file. The global non-response rate (GNR) is an indicator of data quality which combines complete non-response and partial non-response to the survey. A smaller GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias, i.e., a lower risk of lack of accuracy. Global non-response rates are determined for each of the NHS geographic areas. Geographic areas with a global non-response rate higher than or equal to 50% are suppressed from standard data products but will be available as a custom request. Geographic areas in custom requests with a global non-response rate lower than 50% are identified in tabulations, but not suppressed. As well Coefficients of variation (CVs) have been calculated for selected NHS variables for Canada, provinces and territories.

http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/ref/cv/index.cfm?Lang=E Please see below for a further explanation of the NHS CVs. File Description The 2011 NHS microdata file is a hierarchical dataset which contains x,xxx,xxx observations (or records) and 379 variables. The variables have been constructed using responses taken directly from the N1 and N2 questionnaires as well as derivations performed during the Edit and Imputation process. The hierarchical design of the NHS microdata file allows for analysis of 5 distinct focuses or levels. These focuses represent five different units of statistical analysis: persons, census families, economic families, households and dwellings. The hierarchy is easily represented by the diagram below (P.4). Each record in the NHS microdata file represents a person level response and is the primary level for which the NHS microdata file is based. These person level records can be easily group as persons in economic families and persons not in economic families. By grouping the persons in economic families we can see the formation of the economic family level. An economic family refers to a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law, adoption or a foster relationship. A couple may be of

opposite or same sex. Persons not in economic families refer to household members who do not belong to an economic family, including persons living alone. As well, some NHS concepts apply specifically to persons not in economic families, check specific variable definitions for further information. The next level is the census family level and similar to economic families, person level records can be classified as persons in census families and persons not in census families. A census family refers to a married couple (with or without children of either and/or both spouses), a common-law couple (with or without children of either and/or both partners) or a lone parent of any marital status, with at least one child. A couple may be of opposite sex or same sex. Persons not in census families refer to household members who do not belong to a census family. The census family focus contains variables describing the family composition and can be used to classify status of each member of the family at the person level. While the household and dwellings levels are not represented in the diagram, all persons surveyed in the NHS were members of a private household, in a private occupied dwelling. The household level includes variables which show the household living arrangements and type of household. As the household focus contains variables related to persons who occupy a dwelling, the dwelling focus is related to the physical living quarters in which all the lower level units reside. The resulting one-to-one relationship between household and dwelling may seem confusing; however the main difference is seen in the variable content of the two focuses. Example of the NHS hierarchical File: Two siblings (person level observations or records) living with their respective spouses (person level records) create two census families (two couples, census family level records), which are contained in one economic family (a family related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law union or adoption). All of these units contained in a household (Multiple-family household, household level) which occupy a semi-detached house (dwelling level).

Hierarchical File Identifiers or Keys The NHS microdata file contains identifiers which conceal the identity of respondents while providing a method to organize the 5 different focuses according to the relationships held within each household. The relationships can allow for easy classification of persons by the type of dwelling they occupy or counting how many households contain more than one census family. Using these identifiers to navigate the 5 different focuses is essential. Each of the identifiers relates back to the HH_ID. HH_ID assigns the same numeric identifier for each member of a household. HH_ID forms a key element for each of the other levels in the hierarchy. At the primary level, or person level, the PP_ID variable acts as an indicator for the persons who occupy a given household. Starting from the right side, the final 4 digits of PP_ID will number each of the members of the household. The digits to the left of the 4 digits of PP_ID are the HH_ID. For the purposes of studying the hierarchical file Identifiers, the census family level is the next level at which person level records can be grouped for analysis. The variable CF_ID is the unique numeric indicator of each census family within a household. From the left side, the first prefix of digits is the HH_ID for the household. The 5th digit from the right side of CF_ID will number each of the census families of the household. However, if the 5th digit from the right side of CF_ID is a zero, then this record represents a person not in a census family as explained above, who lives within the household. These records are not included in the census family level. For more information on persons not in census families please refer to definition of household living arrangements in the NHS Dictionary. The variable EF_ID is the unique numeric indicator of each economic family within a household. EF_ID uses the same specifications as CF_ID, in that the 5th digit from the right side will number the economic families of the household and a zero would represent a person not in an economic family. For more information on persons not in economic families please refer to definitions of economic family and economic family status in the NHS Dictionary. Understanding HH_ID is vitally important not only because it forms a key element in each of the other identifiers, but it also provides a means to organise the household and dwelling levels found on the file. After understanding the different focus identifiers, users can determine how to filter and group records from the NHS microdata file in order to form the different units of statistical analysis.

Key facts for the National Household Survey The National Household Survey (NHS) provides social and economic information that communities need to plan services such as child care, schooling, family services, housing, roads and public transportation, and skills training for employment. The NHS is the largest voluntary survey Statistics Canada has ever conducted. The first data from the NHS will be released May 8, 2013. Data collection The NHS was implemented during the 2011 Census cycle. Canadians were invited to respond to the survey questionnaire in Spring and Summer 2011. In remote areas and on Indian reserves, information was gathered in face-to-face interviews. In other areas of the country, respondents were asked to complete the questionnaire online or on paper first and then follow-up was conducted by enumerators with households who had not yet responded. Questionnaire There were 2 NHS questionnaires:

- The general household questionnaire (N1) - The canvasser questionnaire for reserves (N2)

The NHS questionnaire contained 64 questions and took between 25 to 35 minutes to complete. The NHS included the following topics:

- Basic characteristics (Age, Sex & Marital Status ) - Families and households - Activity limitations - Ethnic diversity and immigration - Language - Aboriginal peoples - Mobility and migration - Education - Labour - Place of work and commuting to work - Income and earnings - Housing and shelter costs

Survey sample A random sample of 4.5 million households was selected.

Participation in the survey was voluntary. Households selected to participate were under no obligation to do so. Conversely, Canadians whose households were not selected in the NHS sample and who wanted to participate in the NHS could not volunteer to complete the questionnaire.

Approximately 4.5 million households received the NHS questionnaire. Data disseminated by the NHS are subjected to a variety of automated and manual processes to determine whether the data needs to be suppressed. This is done primarily for two reasons, (1) to ensure non-disclosure of individual respondent identity and characteristics (which will subsequently be referred to as confidentiality) and (2), to limit the dissemination of data of unacceptable quality (which will subsequently be referred to as data quality). Additionally, suppression of data may be applied for product-specific reasons due, typically, to formatting issues. The term product refers, primarily, to tabular output. Data may either be modified in the product or removed from the product altogether to reflect the suppression rules required.

Indian reserves and Indian settlements for which citizenship and immigration data are not released Persons living on Indian reserves and Indian settlements who were enumerated with the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) N2 questionnaire were not asked the questions on citizenship, landed immigrant status and year of immigration. Consequently, data are suppressed for Indian reserves and Indian settlements at the census subdivision level and other geographic levels as appropriate. Below is a list of areas from the 2011 NHS where the citizenship and immigration data were suppressed. •Indian reserves and Indian settlements for which citizenship and immigration data are not released http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/ref/sup_N2-eng.cfm •Census tracts for which citizenship and immigration data are not released http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/ref/sup_N2_CT-SR-eng.cfm Incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements In 2011, there were a total of 36 Indian reserves and Indian settlements that were 'incompletely enumerated' in the National Household Survey (NHS). For 23 reserves or settlements, NHS enumeration was either not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed. In the case of 13 reserves in Northern Ontario, enumeration was delayed because of natural events (specifically forest fires) and estimates for these communities are not included in national or provincial estimates. The extent of the impact will depend on the geographic area under study. It is much less for higher geographic areas such as Canada, provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas, and census agglomerations. The impact may be more significant for lower geographic areas, such as census subdivisions. The issue of incompletely enumerated reserves has the most impact on NHS estimates for the First Nations population living on reserve as well as the Registered or Treaty Indian population living on reserve. Estimates for other populations will also be affected. This issue does not have an impact on the estimates for the Inuit or Métis populations, as they are much less likely to live on reserve. Estimates associated with other variables related to First Nations, such as language and band housing, may also be affected by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the NHS.

Final response rates for Canada, provinces and territories http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/ref/about-apropos/nhs-enm_r012.cfm?Lang=E Unweighted response rates are calculated from final data, following the completion of data processing and data quality verification. The final status of a dwelling as respondent, non-respondent, or out of scope for the National Household Survey (NHS) is done as part of data processing. The unweighted response rates are then calculated as the number of sampled private dwellings that returned a questionnaire divided by the number of sampled private dwellings classified as occupied by field staff. Weighted response rates are based on final design weights of NHS. Dwellings that responded to the NHS prior to a fixed date in collection have their initial design weight based on the sampling fraction in their area. After this fixed date, in order to limit the non-response bias as much as possible with the available resources, the NHS focussed collection operations on a subsample of remaining non respondents. Within this subsample, the design weights were increased to reflect this change. The weighted response rates are then calculated as the weighted number of sampled private dwellings that returned a questionnaire divided by the weighted number of sampled private dwellings classified as occupied by field staff. NHS: Coefficients of variation (CVs) http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/ref/cv/index.cfm?Lang=E The CV of an estimate is the ratio of the standard error of the estimate and the estimate itself, expressed as a percentage. The CV is used to give an indication of the uncertainty associated with the estimates. Coefficients of variation are available for selected variables for Canada, provinces and territories. Description of the CV The CV is a measure used to describe the precision of an estimate. For example, it can be used to measure the precision of an estimated total, an estimated proportion, an estimated mean, etc. The smaller the CV is, the more precise the estimate. More specifically, the CV of an estimate is the ratio of the standard error of the estimate to the estimate itself. The standard error is estimated and therefore, the CV is also an estimate.

Qualitative variables

Aboriginal Population

AbAncSm

Aboriginal: Aboriginal ancestry - Selected single and multiple response combinations

Qualitative

Selected single and multiple Aboriginal responses to the ethnic origin question (Question 17). Aboriginal ancestry includes First Nations (North

American Indian) ancestry, Métis ancestry and Inuit ancestry. Ethnic origin (ancestry) refers to the ethnic or cultural origins of the respondent's

ancestors. Respondents were asked to specify as many origins as applicable. Four lines were provided for write-in responses and up to six ethnic

origins were retained. In this variable, each respondent is counted in only one response category: the sum of all stubs shown in this variable is

equal to the total population. To obtain an estimate (subtotal) of the population reporting 'Aboriginal ancestry,' sum all categories excluding

category (15) 'Non-Aboriginal ancestry only.' The category 'Aboriginal ancestry' includes persons who reported one or more than one of First

Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17, either with or without also reporting a non-Aboriginal ancestry. To obtain

an estimate(subtotal) of the population reporting 'Aboriginal ancestry only,' i.e., Aboriginal ancestry but no non-Aboriginal ancestry, sum the

following categories: (1) 'First Nations (North American Indian) single ancestry'; (2) 'Métis single ancestry'; (3) 'Inuit single ancestry'; (4) 'First

Nations (North American Indian) and Métis ancestry only'; (5) 'First Nations (North American Indian) and Inuit ancestry only'; (6) 'Métis and Inuit

ancestry only'; (7) 'First Nations (North American Indian), Métis and Inuit ancestry only.' The category 'Aboriginal ancestry only' includes persons

who reported one or more than one of First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17, without reporting a

non-Aboriginal ancestry. To obtain an estimate (subtotal) for 'Aboriginal single ancestry only' sum the following categories: (1) 'First Nations (North

American Indian) single ancestry'; (2) 'Métis single ancestry'; (3) 'Inuit single ancestry.' The category, 'Aboriginal single ancestry' includes persons

who reported one and only one of First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17, without reporting a non-Aboriginal

ancestry. To obtain an estimate (subtotal) for 'Aboriginal multiple ancestry only,' sum the categories: (4) 'First Nations (North American Indian)

and Métis ancestry only'; (5) 'First Nations (North American Indian) and Inuit ancestry only'; (6) 'Métis and Inuit ancestry only'; (7) 'First Nations

(North American Indian), Métis and Inuit ancestry only.' The category 'Aboriginal multiple ancestry only' includes persons who reported more than

one of First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17, without reporting a non-Aboriginal ancestry. To obtain an

estimate (subtotal) for 'Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal ancestry' sum the categories: (8) 'First Nations (North American Indian) and non-Aboriginal

ancestry only'; (9) 'Métis and non-Aboriginal ancestry only'; (10) 'Inuit and non-Aboriginal ancestry only'; (11) 'First Nations (North American

Indian), Métis and non-Aboriginal ancestry only'; (12) 'First Nations (North American Indian), Inuit and non-Aboriginal ancestry only'; (13) 'Métis,

Inuit and non-Aboriginal ancestry only'; (14) 'First Nations (North American Indian), Métis, Inuit and non-Aboriginal ancestry only.' The category

'Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal ancestry' includes persons who reported one or more than one of First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or

Inuit ancestry in Question 17, as well as reporting a non-Aboriginal ancestry. 'Non-Aboriginal ancestry only' includes persons who did not report

First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuit ancestry in Question 17. INCOMPLETELY ENUMERATED INDIAN RESERVES AND INDIAN

SETTLEMENTS Users should be aware that the estimates associated with this variable are more affected than most by the incomplete

enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the National Household Survey (NHS). The extent of the impact will depend on

the geographic area under study. By variable and/or group, the issue of incompletely enumerated reserves has the greatest impact on NHS

estimates for the total Aboriginal identity population, the First Nations (North American Indian) identity population, the total Aboriginal ancestry

population, the First Nations (North American Indian) ancestry population, the Registered or Treaty Indian population, the population who reported

membership in a First Nation or Indian Band and the population living on Indian reserves and Indian settlements. Estimates associated with other

variables related to Aboriginal peoples, such as language and band housing, may also be more affected by the incomplete enumeration of certain

Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the NHS. This issue does not have a significant impact on the estimates for variables associated with the

Inuit or Métis populations, as they are less likely to live on reserve. In 2011, there were a total of 36 Indian reserves and Indian settlements that

were 'incompletely enumerated' in the NHS. For these reserves or settlements, NHS enumeration was either not permitted or was interrupted

before it could be completed, or was not possible because of natural events (specifically forest fires in Northern Ontario). Any historical comparison

of Aboriginal data must include adjustments for incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements and for other changes in the definition and

geography of reserves. There are two different adjustments that may be necessary. The first adjustment (Adjusted base) is used for comparison of

the same areas across different collection periods. Only the Indian reserves and Indian settlements that participated in all comparison years are

included when comparing data. The second adjustment (Area of residence) is used when comparing the on- or off-reserve populations over time. If

the on- or off-reserve categories are not required for the historical comparison, then only the Adjusted base variables are used. For more

information on required adjustments to tables, please refer to notes attached to the Adjusted base and Area of residence variables. Data tables

that do not involve historical comparisons should not use the adjustments. The estimates in adjusted tables used for historical comparison may

users use the standard stubset, Area of residence: Inuit Nunangat (7).1 Total - Area of residence: Inuit Nunangat2 Inuit Nunangat3

Nunatsiavut4 Nunavik5 Nunavut 6 Inuvialuit region 7 Outside Inuit Nunangat 'Total - Inuit area of residence' refers to the following

types of geographic areas: Inuit Nunangat (Inuit regions), rural areas, small population centres, medium population centres and large urban

population centres. These geographic areas can be used to show where the Inuit population reside. Inuit Nunangat is the homeland of Inuit of

Canada. It includes the communities located in the four Inuit Land Claim Agreement regions: Nunatsiavut (Northern coastal Labrador), Nunavik

(Northern Quebec), the territory of Nunavut and the Inuvialuit region of the Northwest Territories. These regions collectively encompass the area

traditionally occupied by Inuit in Canada. 'Outside Inuit Nunangat' includes all areas outside of Nunatsiavut (Northern coastal Labrador), Nunavik

(Northern Quebec), the territory of Nunavut and the Inuvialuit region of the Northwest Territories. Population centres and rural areas are defined

using counts from the 2011 Census of Population. A 'population centre' has a population of at least 1,000 and a population density of 400 persons

or more per square kilometre. Any area outside a population centre is classified as 'rural. 'Additional information on the geographic units can be

obtained from the 2011 National Household Survey Dictionary. For additional information on the collection and dissemination of Aboriginal data,

Aboriginal: Aboriginal identity - Summary

Qualitative

'Aboriginal identity' refers to whether the person reported being an Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk

(Inuit) and/or being a Registered or Treaty Indian (that is, registered under the Indian Act of Canada) and/or being a member of a First Nation or

Indian band. Aboriginal identity is derived from data collected in three questions: Aboriginal group (Question 18); Registered or Treaty Indian

status (Question 20); and membership in a First Nation or Indian band (Question 21). Aboriginal peoples of Canada are defined in the Constitution

Act, 1982, Section 35 (2) as including the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. A person may report being in more than one of those three

specific groups in Question 18. The variable AbDerr (Aboriginal: Aboriginal identity - Summary) is a summary variable for AbIdent (Aboriginal:

Aboriginal identity - Detailed). AbIdent (Aboriginal: Aboriginal identity - Detailed) includes the additional categories: (1) 'First Nations (North

American Indian) single identity'; (2) 'Métis single identity'; (3) 'Inuk (Inuit) single identity'; (4) 'Multiple Aboriginal identities'; and (5) 'Aboriginal

identities not included elsewhere.' The 'Aboriginal identity' category includes persons who reported being an Aboriginal person, that is, First

Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit) and/or those who reported Registered or Treaty Indian status, that is, registered under the

Indian Act of Canada, and/or those who reported membership in a First Nation or Indian band. Aboriginal peoples of Canada are defined in the

Constitution Act, 1982, Section 35 (2) as including the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. 'Non-Aboriginal identity' includes persons who

did not report being First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit), and also did not report Registered or Treaty Indian status or

membership in a First Nation or Indian band. INCOMPLETELY ENUMERATED INDIAN RESERVES AND INDIAN SETTLEMENTS Users should

be aware that the estimates associated with this variable are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves

and Indian settlements in the National Household Survey (NHS). The extent of the impact will depend on the geographic area under study. By

variable and/or group, the issue of incompletely enumerated reserves has the greatest impact on NHS estimates for the total Aboriginal identity

population, the First Nations (North American Indian) identity population, the total Aboriginal ancestry population, the First Nations (North American

Indian) ancestry population, the Registered or Treaty Indian population, the population who reported membership in a First Nation or Indian Band

and the population living on Indian reserves and Indian settlements. Estimates associated with other variables related to Aboriginal peoples, such

as language and band housing, may also be more affected by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the

NHS. This issue does not have a significant impact on the estimates for variables associated with the Inuit or Métis populations, as they are less

likely to live on reserve. In 2011, there were a total of 36 Indian reserves and Indian settlements that were 'incompletely enumerated' in the NHS.

For these reserves or settlements, NHS enumeration was either not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed, or was not possible

because of natural events (specifically forest fires in Northern Ontario). Any historical comparison of Aboriginal data must include adjustments for

incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements and for other changes in the definition and geography of reserves. There are two different

adjustments that may be necessary. The first adjustment (Adjusted base) is used for comparison of the same areas across different collection

periods. Only the Indian reserves and Indian settlements that participated in all comparison years are included when comparing data. The second

adjustment (Area of residence) is used when comparing the on- or off-reserve populations over time. If the on- or off-reserve categories are not

required for the historical comparison, then only the Adjusted base variables are used. For more information on required adjustments to tables,

please refer to notes attached to the Adjusted base and Area of residence variables. Data tables that do not involve historical comparisons should

not use the adjustments. The estimates in adjusted tables used for historical comparison may differ from those based on unadjusted data. For

Aboriginal: First Nations (North American Indian) single identity & Registered or Treaty Indian status

Qualitative

This variable indicates whether or not a person had First Nations (North American Indian) single identity, with or without Registered or Treaty

Indian status. Registered Indians are persons who are registered under the Indian Act of Canada. Treaty Indians are persons who belong to a First

Nation or Indian band that signed a treaty with the Crown. Registered or Treaty Indians are sometimes also called Status Indians. This variable is

derived from data collected in three questions: Aboriginal group (Question 18); Registered or Treaty Indian status (Question 20); and membership

in a First Nation or Indian band (Question 21). 'First Nations (North American Indian) single identity and Registered or Treaty Indian' includes

persons who reported being a member of a First Nation (North American Indian) and not Métis or Inuk (Inuit) in Question 18 and who reported

Registered or Treaty Indian status in Question 20. 'First Nations (North American Indian) single identity and not a Registered or Treaty Indian'

includes persons who reported being a member of a First Nation (North American Indian) and not Métis or Inuk (Inuit) in Question 18 and who did

not report Registered or Treaty Indian status in Question 20. 'Métis single identity or Inuk (Inuit) single identity or Métis and Inuk (Inuit) multiple

identity' includes persons who reported Métis only in Question 18; or (2) reported Inuk (Inuit) only in Question 18; or (3) Métis and Inuk (Inuit) in

Question 18. 'First Nations (North American Indian) and Métis and/or Inuk (Inuit) multiple identity' includes persons who (1) reported being a

member of a First Nation (North American Indian) and Métis in Question 18; or (2) reported being a member of a First Nation (North American

Indian) and Inuk (Inuit) in Question 18. 'Non-Aboriginal identity' includes persons who did not report being a member of a First Nation (North

American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit) in Question 18, and also did not report Registered or Treaty Indian status in Question 20 or membership in a

First Nation or Indian band in Question 21. INCOMPLETELY ENUMERATED INDIAN RESERVES AND INDIAN SETTLEMENTS Users should be
