Canada's First Nations are building the densest neighborhood in the country by reclaiming their ancestral land and defying NIMBYs

• Canada's First Nations are breaking ground on historic housing and community development projects.
• The country's most significant developments are happening in Vancouver, its most expensive city. 
• These indigenous "city-building" projects are some of the biggest globally and could be a model for the US.

Much like in the US, Canada is experiencing a severe housing affordability crisis, and the country's indigenous communities, known as First Nations, have long suffered disproportionately from inadequate housing.
