Therein lies the reason they would want to develop that land: being able to sell product or services to non-natives. A high traffic location on the boulevard connecting Polo Park and the wealthier south west of Winnipeg. They really don't want to build housing there. Education, perhaps, but retail and office space. It could be a real money pit for the elders of those bands. They might even give some of their people jobs. It's wouldn't do a thing for the poverty levels of first nations peoples living in the City already or to combat the gang problems, although it could spread them out of the core areas of the city.
