Just to summarize, it’s been almost two years that I have been the Grand Chief for Dehcho Region. This meeting is to get together and acknowledge how we can work together with Canada and renew relationship and sovereignty and the way the land is used. Back in 1996 Royal Commission and Aboriginal People also said that at that time, said restructuring our relationship and we have to think about that too. Today, there are a lot of things that came out that is very powerful that were made. And a lot of people since 1982 where the constitution was brought back to us Section 35 that was the reason why it was brought back to us. With regards to our land how we want a settlement and all that stuff was started. 1996 Royal Commission and Aboriginal People we talk about that one too also. They made a statement in regards to that and the statement was how we are going to be our own government and how we are going to work with the Federal Government and we made a number of statements in regards to that. In 1998 we look at the reconciliation that’s where it started and the Aboriginal Healing Foundation was founded. In 2007 UN declaration was passed. We review it on how we are going to be self-government and how we can get resources from our, funding from resources that we give to the government. We did that in 2008 and we also heard Prime Minister Harper with regards the Residential School apology to all the survivors. So there were a lot of things that were important that was brought out but still we didn’t go forward with it. It seems like we are holding onto our land and being our own government, we need to still address that. When we do things like that we need a lot of statements and lot of good definition so that it will go forward. We need to do that and every since Dehcho Process we still will be doing that. In the past when Chiefs were together, the elders that were here, that are not here right now. They made a strong statement they seen it for the future so that’s the reason why they made a statement. How they see things, how we are going to make out a strong statement to become our own government we need the Dehcho Declaration of Rights. A lot depends on it and along with the 21Common Ground Principles. With regards to the Framework Interim Resource Development Agreement we need that and we are also still working on that. So who are those people that made the statement we need to follow it through with the Dehcho Process that’s how they did it. Today we are still working towards that I am pretty sure. You see a number of Chiefs that are sitting around here and who are at home, all Chiefs of Dehcho, the leaders of Métis Nation and all the Elders I want to express my thanks to them. What we do here with regards to a big meeting like this assembly we have a lot of work ahead of us and if that happens there’s lot of things people do even during the weekends. We got to remember those people to that are preparing for the meeting. So I would like to thank the staff of Dehcho First Nation my thanks go to them and they are doing hard 19th Annual Assembly DRAFT MINUTES Page 3 Pehdzeh Ki, Denendeh June 28­30, 2011 work and if I forget anybody I apologize I want to thank them. Now here we are sitting around here with the leadership and the young people, elders, women, men, people that come from far away that are here and have travelled a long ways I want to say thank you for their safe trip here. The Dehcho Process is still something that is important and it still ahead of us. We need to all pull together, the Chiefs, we got to follow what they say and we will go ahead. All the people that are sitting around the table also and we are here to protect our land and that’s what we are going to be doing and that’s what we are going to be talking about. So I can’t say I am the boss of the land, but everything that is on the land is very important to us and that’s how we are going to protect it. If we think that way then we probably won’t be here and we want to settle this and it is very important what we are going to discuss with regards to protecting our land. Also up until now people like Georges, Patrick, Bernadette, Richard, Violet, Leona and people like that are lawyers and all of those that are with us today. In 1993 after the Dehcho Declaration up until now it’s been a long time now, we came along ways. So in the end maybe there will be a statement coming out of this. Right now, from now until next year it will be about three years that I will be here and it is still a lot of things. That one community, we got to think as one community that’s what we have to do. Think as one and we got to work out of one house concept so that’s what we still thinking of and also what government gives us a treaty that’s what we have to stand on too. Last Thursday Premier Floyd Roland wrote to me and then on Friday Minister Duncan from Ottawa they call me and talk to me in regards to Ehdezhie. The statement there is that they change the statement around so now we got to revisit it again and we have to reinstate what we are protecting. We did that and I am very grateful for that. Up until now what is going to happen we don’t know but things that have been said before that, if we are going to have a meeting then we need to make a statement with regards to how Ehdezhie, is Simpson and all of these communities like Providence and all those areas that the working group comes from, they need to work together and they need to look at the co-management group of Ehdezhie.

This paper focuses on two case-studies. They are Nahanni National Park and Reserve in the Dehcho region of the Northwest Territories, and the Whitefeather Forest Protected Area in the Pikangikum First Nations Traditional Territory in Ontario. They were chosen because of their unique approaches to include Aboriginal communities in the planning process and their designation as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

  • Negotiating the Dehcho: Protecting Dene Ahthít’E1 Through Modern Treaty-Making
    TD 541-18(3) TABLED ON AUGUST 22, 2019 Negotiating the Dehcho: Protecting Dene Ahthít’e1 through Modern Treaty-Making *Don Couturier This memo is a high-level summary of my research. It is not a full account of my argument or recommendations. I simply introduce my topic and survey its main points and themes. The full report will be available in October, 2019 through the Gordon Foundation’s Jane Glassco Northern Fellowship website. Please refer to the full report for comprehensive context and recommendation development. Thank you to my mentor, Larry Innes, and my cohort of Fellows—without their support, encouragement, and thoughtful teachings this research would not be possible. Introduction The Dehcho Dene, Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) and Canada must harmonize their competing visions of law and governance through nation-to-nation partnership and treaty federalism. This research modestly describes the positions of each party, identifies areas of mutual understanding, and analyzes potential compromises and opportunities going forward. Three primary sources inform my analysis: the spirit of Treaty 8 and 11; lessons from the success of Edéhzhíe, the first Indigenous Protected Area in the Dehcho region; and Canada’s Principles Respecting the Government of Canada’s Relationship with Indigenous Peoples.2 Background Context Negotiations began in 1999.3 The 21 Common Ground Principles and subsequent Dehcho First Nations Framework Agreement established the overarching goal of recognizing a Dehcho “government based on Dene laws and customs, and other laws agreed to by the parties”.4 The Dehcho First Nations Framework Agreement sets out the guiding principles, objectives, roles, and other negotiating specifics.

  • Canada's Abusive Relationship with Indigenous People: a Profile of Dehcho First Nations Interim Grand Chief, Gerald Antoine Fo
    CANADA’S ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLE: A PROFILE OF DEHCHO FIRST NATIONS INTERIM GRAND CHIEF, GERALD ANTOINE FORT SIMPSON, NT -- (special) -- The newly selected Interim Grand Chief of the Dehcho First Nations (DFN) has no illusions about the problems and divisions he and his people face in the next few months, leading up to a summer General Assembly and an elected person to lead the on-going struggle with Canada for their indigenous rights. “This is not about me, I am merely a person chosen to be a protector, a facilitator, an engineer if you like, who has been honoured by the confidence of his people to help prepare them for next assembly in June,” says Gerald (Jerry) Antoine, the 53-year-old Dehcho broadcaster who was chosen late last week to serve as interim Grand Chief of the DFN. He knows what he is faced with. He sat through the long, agonizing and painful Special Assembly in late January that dismissed Herb Norwegian, who is a friend and cousin. Antoine was one of the few who came and stood beside Norwegian in the last minutes of the Special Assembly in an act of solidarity for the former grand chief’ s long history of work with the Dehcho and the Dene Nation. Antoine had been there already. He was the first Grand Chief of the DFN from 1993-96, moving it from a regional tribal council of the Dene Nation (Mackenzie-Liard region) to its people’s own identity as Dehcho. “Sure, I know about the divisions we face, I know about the terrible legacy of the residential schools on people, I was there.
