Committees

Dene and Métis elders say that wildlife do not have boundaries. In nature, everything is connected. For this reason, the Sahtú Dene and Métis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement establishes an integrated environmental management system. This means that the Ɂehdzo Got’ı̨nę Gotsę́ Nákedı is required to coordinate with other management organisations in the Sahtú Region and the Mackenzie Valley. Co-management systems within the land claim regions of the Northwest Territories have given rise to the creation of several cross-regional committees to share perspectives and knowledge, and to build consensus for decisions that affect some or all of the regions. The Board is developing traditional knowledge guidelines and a consultation and engagement protocol to ensure that aboriginal knowledge and community perspectives are included in our contributions to these committees.
