Notes
1.^ There are only three actual Indian reserves in the NWT shown by INAC. All other places listed here are called Indian Settlements. Not included are Norman Wells and Enterprise both of which have a significant First Nations population. Also not included are the Inuvialuit communities of Paulatuk (Siglit), Sachs Harbour (Siglit), Tuktoyaktuk (Siglit) and Ulukhaktok (Copper Inuit).
Nunavut does not have a significant First Nations, (0.34%) Métis (0.44%) or non-Aboriginal (15.04%) population[6] and has no reserves. All communities in the territory have a majority of Inuit residents and a breakdown can be seen at list of communities in Nunavut.

Quebec
In Quebec, the Indian Act applies only to the First Nations of the southern part of the province, so Indian reserves are only found in the south. The Minister of Indian Affairs assigns 34 tracts of land as Indian reserves and settlements under the Indian Act:
The Wolf Lake First Nation (Algonquin) and the Gespeg First Nation (Mi'kmaq) are two communities without any assigned reserve but recognized as Status Indian under the Indian Act.
The First Nations and the Inuit in northern Quebec are covered by different laws based on the James Bay And Northern Quebec Agreement and the Northeastern Quebec Agreement, which superseded the Indian Act in the 1970s. No Indian reserve exists in northern Quebec, but Aboriginal peoples still live in specific villages with recognized rights:
