    Este artículo tiene como objetivo examinar el impacto y las consecuencias sociales contemporáneas del mantenimiento del sistema de organización social denominado «reserva indígena» en Canadá. Mediante un estudio de caso, se explora cómo la política organizacional y la estructura institucional contemporánea en las reservas indígenas canadienses están alimentando problemas psicosociales y de salud mental como, por ejemplo, abuso de sustancias psicoactivas, depresión, negligencia parental o violencia doméstica. Tres características estructurales se identifican como problemas inherentes en la estructura organizacional de las reservas contemporáneas: el desempleo estructural, la dependencia de programas de asistencia social y el faccionalismo comunitario.

    This paper aims to examine the impact and contemporary social consequences of the maintenance of the organizational system known as Indian reserve in Canada.

    By means of a case study this paper explores how contemporary organizational politics and the institutional structure of the Canadian Indian reserves are giving rise to psychosocial and mental health problems such as drug abuse, depression, parental negligence, domestic violence, etc. Three structural characteristics are identified as inherent problems to the organizational structure within contemporary Canadian native reserves: structural unemployment, dependence on social assistance programs, and community factionalism
