Sahtu Dene and Métis Agreement

Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories

Aug. 28, 2018 – Parties initial Self-Government Agreement-in-Principle. As stipulated in the 1993 Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, self-government agreements have been or are currently being negotiated with each of the five Indigenous communities in the Sahtu Region, including the Sahtu Dene and Metis of Norman Wells. Negotiations towards a Final Agreement are commencing.

Feb. 21, 2019 – signing the Self-government Agreement-in-Principle for the Sahtu Dene and Métis of Norman Wells represents a significant step in the journey towards fulfilling the obligation to negotiate self-government in the 1993 Land Claim Agreement. More importantly, this Agreement-in-Principle represents a key milestone in the journey towards self-government and self-determination for the Sahtu Dene and Metis of Norman Wells. The Agreement-in-Principle considers how to implement the inherent right for the Sahtu Dene and Métis of Norman Wells in a community where they comprise a smaller proportion of the overall population. This Agreement-in-Principle is flexible and forward-looking, in that it allows for changes in the governance model, as the population demographics change in the future.
