A new relationship is being forged between First Nations and municipal governments in Saskatchewan, in part due to the Treaty Land Entitlement Framework Agreement, under which First Nations have received funds to acquire land in fulfillment of treaty promises. This collection of essays examines the creation of four urban reserves, two of which were created amidst considerable acrimony and two of which were created in political harmony between the local municipality and the First Nations band council. The contributors explore the political tensions, problems, solutions, and the legal, bureaucratic and social hurdles encountered when creating an urban reserve.
