  • 1.7 the 2002 Tlicho-Akaitcho Boundary Creek Agreement
    Preamble: The Government of the Northwest Territories is seeking to impose extra-ordinary restrictions on the rights of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. The Yellowknives Dene First Nation (YKDFN) – Dettah and Ndilo – are member First Nations of the Akaitcho Territory Dene First Nations, descendants of those who made Treaty on July 25, 1900 at Deninu Kue. Members of YKDFNs currently have existing aboriginal and treaty rights. These rights include, among others, the right to hunt, fish, trap and gather in Chief Drygeese Territory. The aboriginal and treaty rights of the YKDFN have been exercised by YKDFN for generations, and continue to be exercised to date. The evidence of Elders and First Nation members together generally confirm that in Chief Drygeese Territory: • The lands are used for hunting, fishing and trapping on a regular basis today, • The lands are also used for the gathering of berries for food and plants for medicinal purposes, • They have been so used for generations, • The trapping provides furs to sell and meat to subsist on, • The meat obtained from the hunting and trapping feeds many community members and not just the trapper or hunter, • Many different types of animals are hunted and trapped, and • The lands have spiritual and cultural significance to the YKDFN. In short, the treaty rights to hunt, fish, trap and gather provided in the Treaty, in addition to other rights, do not exist only on paper, but are in active use, and an integral part of the tradition and existence of the Yellowknives Dene. The courts have been clear on the mechanisms that need to be followed if rights are to be infringed: 1) There must be a ‘compelling and substantial’ justification for the action 2) The Crown must engage in significant and meaningful consultation 3) All other privileges and harvesting options must be attempted prior to any infringement of rights, and if infringement does occur, it must be shown to be as little as necessary.

  • Lupin Mine Winter Access
    ,,, 14 December 2018 Tyree Mullaney, Regulatory Specialist Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Soard 4922 48th Ave., 7th Floor, YK Centre Mall PO Box 2130 Yellowknife, NT XlA 2P6 Dear Ms. Mullaney, Re. Application for a Type A Land Use Permit for Nahanni Construction Ltd.'s Lupin Winter Access Please find enclosed the following documents in support of Nahanni Construction Ltd.'s (NCL) application to construct, operate and close a winter road within the T1bbltt to Contwoyto Winter Road (TCWR) corridor extending from the Ekati Mine turnoff on Lac de Gras to the Lupin Mine in Nunavut: • Application form; • Certificate of incorporation; • Project Description; • Figure 1 (map); • Environmental and Resources Effects Assessment; • Community Engagement Plan; • Engagement Log; • Spill Contingency Plan; • Abandonment and Restoration Plan; • Environment and Heritage Resources Protection Plan (including waste management); • WIidiife Protection Plan; • Cheque for application fees; • An indication of support from the TCWR Joint Venture; and • Security estimate. NCL wishes to obtain access to a portion of the TCWR route from the Ekati Mine turnoff on Lac de Gras in the Northwest Territories to the Lupin Mme in Nunavut in order to construct and operate this portion of the TCWR to mobilize and demobilize equipment and supplies that may be used for ongoing reclamation of Lupin in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut (the Program). It is understood that the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Joint Venture (TCJV) currently holds a licence of occupation for the winter road route; conversations with TCJV personnel indicate that there are no current plans to construct the segment of the TCWR extending from Ekati to Lupin and so there are no known conflicts with this aspect of the land use.
