Welcome
The Dehlà Got’įne have occupied and lived in our traditional territory since time immemorial. It is our home, our history, and our future.
We are negotiating a self-government agreement to strengthen the authority and capacity to govern ourselves here in our own territory. This authority and capacity was eroded by the actions of the Canadian government and Government of the Northwest Territories over many years that denied Indigenous people in Canada their basic human rights. The damage done to Indigenous people through residential schools and other government policies was so serious that it has been called a “cultural genocide” by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
