This Implementation Plan is the next step of the Action Plan and will be used by Environment and Natural Resources to implement the actions in cooperation with the Tᰯch Government, Wildlife Management Boards and other stakeholders. In the future, annual status reports will be provided detailing the progress of the actions undertaken and implemented by Environment and Natural Resources. Implementation of these 21 actions will contribute to the national recovery effort for boreal woodland caribou under the federal Species at Risk Act . Implementation of certain actions will be coordinated with Alberta as part of our mutual obligations outlined in the signed Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation on Managing Shared Boreal Populations of Woodland Caribou. This MOU acknowledges boreal caribou are a species at risk that are shared across jurisdictional lines and require co-operative management. J.

  • 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.
