  • Native Land Claims and the Future of Archaeology in the Northwest Territories, Canada Thomas D
    17 Native Land Claims and the Future of Archaeology in the Northwest Territories, Canada Thomas D. Andrews Charles D. Arnnold Elisa J. Hart Margaret M. Bertulli The settlement of comprehensive land claims is ushering in major changes in the manage­ ment of land and resources in the Northwest Territories, including heritage resources. This chap­ ter summarizes the progress that has been made in completing land claims, anticipates the impact that the claims will have on the way archaeological research is conducted, and discusses how the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is responding to these changes. Suggestions for dealing with the current social and political setting in the design and implementation of archaeological projects are also presented. OUTLINE OF NATIVE LAND CLAIMS IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES In the early 1970s, the Government of Canada established a comprehensive claims policy to guide negotiations with Native groups in settling Aboriginal interests in lands that they tradition­ ally occupied. Although the Northwest Territories has its own legislative assembly and its own bureaucracy to administer most of the business of government, the Government of Canada has the sole responsibility for settling Aboriginal land claims in the Northwest Territories. The Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Territories are the Inuit, the Dene, the Cree, and the Metis. The Inuit include the Inuvialuit of the Beaufort Sea and Amundson Gulf areas of the west­ ern Arctic, who, in 1984, were the first Aboriginal group in the Northwest Territories to settle a land claim with the Government of Canada (see Figure 1). In May, 1993, the Inuit of the eastern Arctic, an area commonly referred to as “Nunavut” signed a final agreement on a land claim.

(date ) AESTRACT This study is concerned with the persistence of human life on the edge of the Canadian Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan make up the largest distinct linguistic and cultural group and are the most easterly among the Northern Athapaskan Indians, or Dene. Over many centuries, the Chipewyan have maintained a form of social life as an edge-of-the-forest people and people of the Barren Grounds to the west of Hudson Bay. The particular aim of this thesis is to attempt, through a survey of the ecological and historical 1iterature , to elucidate something of the traditional adaptive pattern of the Chipewyan in their explcitation of the subarc tic envirorient . Given the fragmentary nature of much of the historical evidence, our limited understanding of the subarctic environment, and the fact that the Chipewyan oecumene (way of looking at life) is largely denied to the modern observer, we acknowledge that this exercise in ecological and historical reconstruction is governed by serious hazards and limitations.

  • Celebrating Yellowknife's Living Heritage
    LINE Celebrating Yellowknife’s living heritage Thevishka Kanishkan MLA Candidate, 2019 Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design University of Toronto ABSTRACT Based in the Old Town of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, LINE is a landscape architecture intervention that critiques current heritage place-making and planning methods. It uses the Indigenous worldviews of cyclical time to give rise to a new and unconventional way of interpreting Yellowknife’s heritage as living, and uses storytelling as a qualitative methodology and landscape practice. CONTEXT Traditional Knowledge Mapping Approximately a quarter of the population of Yellowknife identifies as Indigenous, and this proportion can climb to over 50% in some of the smaller communities in the Northwest As such, over the past three decades, The Yellowknives Dene First Nation and the Sahtu Dene First Nation have been conducting what is known as Traditional Knowledge Mapping. Traditional Knowledge is defined by the YKDFN as follows: “ Where the people have been, how they have used their lands, and what changes the people have observed, are remembered by the people. That is the essence of the traditional knowledge of peoples born to their lands. This knowledge is passed from an experienced generation to the next, so that the peoples learn accumulated patterns of change” (Weledeh Yellowknives Dene, 1997). Traditional knowledge maps are physical manifestations of the stories orally passed down from generation to generation, and are representative of memories and knowledge acquired through the direct experience of traveling the land. According to anthropologists Thomas Andrews and Susan Buggey, the key for gaining traditional knowledge is through the direct experience of travel.

  • 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.
