| Summary: | Treaty Land Entitlement is empowering Manitoba First Nations to convert urban lands to reserve status. As municipalities cannot levy taxes or enforce bylaws on adjacent reserve lands, a service agreement is typically negotiated to establish the terms of the new relationship. This article explores the possibility of resolving persistent points of contention in the service agreement negotiation process through a regional collaborative approach. Les droits fonciers issus des traités permettent aux Premières Nations du Manitoba d’octroyer le statut de réserve à des terrains urbains. Par conséquent, comme les municipalités ne peuvent imposer et percevoir des taxes, ou appliquer des règlements municipaux sur les terrains adjacents des réserves, une entente de services est habituellement conclue pour déterminer les modalités de cette nouvelle coexistence. Cet article porte sur la possibilité de résoudre des points de discorde dans le processus de négociation des ententes de services en adoptant une approche concertée régionale.
