A pair of major Treaty One Nation projects on sites that are former symbols of establishment power are a ‘reclamation’ of territory
It takes a bit of imagination to see a neighbourhood rising from an expanse of fields in southwest Winnipeg where a lonely bus stop stands sentinel to a long-gone army base.
The project led by Treaty One will see the construction of a mixed-use neighbourhood on what was a military base in the tony South Tuxedo part of the city. Another, the refurbishment of a derelict Hudson’s Bay Company store downtown, is led by the Southern Chiefs Organization, or SCO, which represents 34 First Nations.
This transition can pose challenges, with some newcomers ending up on the street or in substandard accommodation and both of the Indigenous-run projects make a point of including housing for their people The area is divided into five chunks, with plans to build first on 3.1-hectare block A and 7.1 hectare block B. Mr. Sutherland said that in two years these should feature apartments and businesses owned by Treaty One.
As part of the project, the SCO also plans to move its local office from an industrial area near the airport to the HBC site, only blocks from the legislature. Grand Chief Jerry Daniels, the SCO leader, called establishing their presence close to the seat of power an important statement.
