The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Everyone loves land back anti colonialism until they take your undeveloped land to build condos

When it comes to land title, Im out in Ontario so I dont know the full details. If people not from the tribe buy any the housing, are they also buying the land title to that property or does it remain with the tribe?

owning the condo typically means you own a share of the land and other common elements of the building along with all the other owners

Also, pretty sure the tribe is perfectly content to be landlords. What matters most (for the housing crisis) is that more housing is built, not super important who actually owns it.
