Usage

This template is to be used for articles about Canadian First Nations band governments. In Canada, band governments usually own one or more Indian reserves. Since band governments are groups of people, and Indian reserves are geographic entities, the two should have separate articles wherever possible. For a template suitable for Indian reserve articles, see Template:Infobox settlement.

It can (and should) also be used for unrecognized First Nations groups, provided that reliable sources exist relating to those groups' claimed identity.
