The Agreement was signed by Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, and President Garry Bailey of the NWT Métis Nation on behalf of the Fort Resolution Métis Government Council, Fort Smith Métis Council and the Hay River Métis Government Council. The NWT Métis Nation has worked on a government- to-government basis, in partnership with Parks Canada, in the establishment of the national park reserve and with the Government of the Northwest Territories in the establishment of the Thaidene Nene protected area. The negotiation of the Impact and Benefit Agree- ment with Parks Canada and the Establishment Agree- ment with the Government of the Northwest Territories recognize the ongoing presence and inherent right of the self-government of the NWT Métis Nation and are important steps towards reconciliation with Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories. The East Arm area is very important to the NWT Métis Nation. The harvesting practices, culture, history and way of life of the NWT Métis Nation are tied to the land, resources and waters in the East Arm area, in particular at the historic trading post of Fort Reliance. The abo- riginal harvesting rights of Indigenous Métis members will continue in the East Arm area ensuring our way of life will flourish for the generations to come. Indigenous Métis members will continue to harvest wildlife, fish, plants and trees, and continue to use camps, cabins and traditional travel routes to exercise harvesting rights in the East Arm Area. The NWT Métis Nation will have equal representation on the Management Board that will be established for the National Park and Protected Area. The NWT Métis Nation will be working with the Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation and Parks Canada on a government-to-govern- ment basis on the Management Board, that will prepare the Management Plan and provide recommendations to the decision-makers for the management of the National Park and the Protected Area. We are proud to be one of 4 WINGS Magazine nwtmetis.ca IMPACT BENEFIT AGREEMENT ARM NATIONAL PARK RESERVE IMPACT BENEFIT AGREEMENT newest National Park Reserve the decision-makers. The NWT Métis Nation is always balancing environ- mental stewardship and economic development for our members. In this area, we have prioritized environmen- tal stewardship, while promoting our participation in the evolving conservation economy. Through the im- plementation of the Impact and Benefit Agreement, we have created opportunities for our Indigenous Métis, including: - A youth camp at Simpson Island; - Summer employment and scholarships for our - students; - A building for the Métis Cultural Institute at - Fort Resolution; - A guardianship program; - Water monitoring; - Economic development opportunities in the - conservation economy for our three local Métis - Governments or our Indigenous Métis members; - Employment opportunities and contracting - opportunities; and - Participation on the Management Board. The NWT Métis Nation would like to commend and congratulate Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation on their work in establishing the National Park Reserve. The NWT Métis Nation looks forward to working with Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation and Parks Canada in managing the National Park on a government-to-government basis. The NWT Métis Nation recognizes the Liberal Gov- ernment for all it is doing to achieve reconciliation with indigenous people of Canada. We appreciate Michael McLeod, the Member of Parliament for the Northwest Territories, for his dedication to ensuring issues of importance to the residents of the Northwest Territories are considered by the Federal Government. The estab- lishment of the National Park Reserve will ensure the area encompassed by Thaidene Nene will continue to be protected and managed for present and future genera- tions of Indigenous Métis, Akaitcho, and all Canadians. facebook.com/nwtmetis Fall/Winter 2019 5 UNWARRANTED CABIN TAXATION NWT MÉTIS NATION CONTINUES TO TACKLE UNWARRANTED CABIN TAXATION The Indigenous Métis members of the NWT Métis Nation have a right to build and utilize traditional use cabins throughout its traditional territory For a number of years – in fact, should be exempt from such taxes reconciliation; imposing property since Devolution – many NWT (as such oppressive lease fees). tax in order to generate money for Métis Nation Indigenous Métis the public does not further the goal members have been receiving some The NWT Métis Nation further of reconciliation.

    NWT Bureau of newstats Statistics Released: November 22, 2019 2019‐30 ISSN‐0827‐3545 Housing Indicators 2019 NWT Community Survey The Northwest Territories (NWT) Bureau of Statistics is releasing the second set of data products from the 2019 NWT Community Survey. This report focuses on nationally accepted housing indicators such as affordability, suitability and adequacy. Affordability is defined as spending less than 30% of the household income on housing costs. A house is considered to be adequate if it has running water and does not require major repairs. Suitability is defined as having the appropriate number of bedrooms for the characteristics and number of occupants. Overview In 2019, 6,308 (42.7%) of the 14,760 dwellings in the NWT had at least one housing problem. A house is considered to have a housing problem if it has an affordability, adequacy or suitability issue. The proportion of dwellings with at least one housing problem in 2019 ranged from 30% in Sachs Harbour to 90% of houses in Colville Lake.
