The common sense answer would be the Federal Government, they would decide on where the money is spent and how.
The actual reaction would be, that's racist and imposing on our culture, just write us the cheques and we'll spend it as we see fit.
What will then happen is that we'll write checks to build schools and the well run reserves will get schools, with others the money will disappear into contracts for family members, and the schools will not be built or built properly or they'll spend it on something else.
The only way it would work is if it was imposed and managed by the government. The FN's won't allow that to happen.

Not to mention, IF the gov't does retain oversight and build schools, what's the first thing that folks are going to hear about? "They are rebuilding the residential schools!"
