The Manitoba Treaty Land Entitlement Framework Agreement  The Manitoba Treaty Land Entitlement Framework Agreement was signed by the Treaty Land Entitlement Committee of Manitoba Inc. (representing 20 First Nations), Canada and Manitoba on May 29, 1997 at the Opaskwayak Cree Nation. This agreement is intended to provide land to the 20 First Nations, fulfilling a long-standing commitment arising from the numbered Treaties signed between Canada and the First Nations between 1871 and 1910.  Under the Framework Agreement, 445,754 hectares of land will be transferred to the First Nations' reserves to make up for the shortfall which occurred at the time reserves were created. Manitoba will provide the First Nations with 399,008 hectares of Crown land. Canada will contribute $76 million, a portion of which will be applied to the purchase of up to 46,444 hectares of land from private owners for those First Nations who do not have sufficient amount of Crown land to select from their immediate vicinity.  All of the purchases from private land owners will be done on a willing seller/willing buyer basis. The Framework Agreement sets out the process and the mechanisms agreed to by the federal and provincial governments and the following First Nations.
