In the past they were stewards of the land on which they lived, knowing that their health as people and a society was intricately tied to the health of the land. In response to the Berger enquiry of the mid 1970’s, the gov- ernment of Canada made a commitment to recognize this relationship by estab- lishing new programmes and institutions to give the Gwich’in people a role as stewards once again. One of the actions taken has been the creation of a formal land use planning process. Many people from all communities in the Gwich’in Settlement Area have worked diligently on land use planning in this formal process with the government since the 1980s. -
