These three maps demonstrate some of the shifts in what is and has been ‘Native space’ within the space of the city over the course of colonial history. The Native population can generally be seen shifting from a number of smaller, localized settlements to a more dispersed pattern incorporating a much larger urban Native population, though many ‘clusters’ still exist: some on-reserve, some not. Loosely tied to these settlement patterns are the shifting boundaries of Indian reserves denied by a series of government commissions; while many of the boundaries still correspond to localized settlements, many of the perimeters have been redefined in subtle ways, most often resulting in smaller areas. Several Native groups have also leased portions of their reserve lands to other urban parties; these locations are compared to leased areas owned by other major leasing groups, the City of Vancouver and UBC Properties Trust, as locations for either market or non-market housing.
