What does unceded territory mean? Is that the Canadian equivalent to a reservation?
It means the land was never given away by indigenous people in any treaty.

Canada has reservations, but those are covered by treaties signed hundreds of years ago.
Unceded land means land that was never actually signed away so it's not even legally justified occupation.
