The province of British Columbia handled reserves differently than the rest of Canada

First Nations Aboriginal Title over their territories existed before the confederation of Canada. The Hudson's Bay Company and then the colonial governments imposed a reserve system on Aboriginal people. British Columbia chose to ignore Aboriginal Title. It's approach to establishing reserves was very different from the rest of Canada.

In 1912, British Columbia and Canada continued to struggle over the province's refusal to allot larger reserves which would have been more in line with the federal government's reserve policy in the rest of the Dominion. In an attempt to finally resolve their differences British Columbia and Canada created the Royal Commission on Indian Affairs in the Province of BC, usually referred to as the McKenna McBride Commission.

Between 1913 and 1916 the McKenna McBride Royal Commission conducted hearings in order to prepare recommendations to allot new reserves, and add to, reduce or cuts off others. Cut-off lands were to be sold at public auction, with the province and Dominion splitting the proceeds. The McKenna McBride Commission did not deal with the question of Aboriginal Title.

In 1916 the Commission published a summary its activities and recommendations in their four-volume final report. Many First Nations refused to consent to the recommendations and the Provincial and Dominion governments refused to acknowledge Aboriginal Title or negotiate with First Nations. Instead they created laws and negotiated amendments between themselves. The amendments were passed and implemented, changing the reserve boundaries for 23 bands.
