The Dogrib people of the Canadian Shield whose Whati agreement, Yamǫǫzha stories, and self-government treaty made them the architects of the most comprehensive indigenous autonomy in the Northwest Territories.
Tłı̨chǫ — the Dene nation of the Monfwi region between Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes in the Northwest Territories whose people have navigated the boreal forest and tundra barrens of their vast homeland for thousands of years, following the barren-ground caribou with a knowledge of the land so precise that their oral maps guided early European explorers through terrain that defeated every instrument of Western cartography. In 2005 the Tłı̨chǫ achieved one of the most comprehensive Indigenous self-government agreements in Canadian history, securing ownership of 39,000 square kilometers of their ancestral territory and governance powers over lands, resources, and community affairs that make the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement a landmark of modern treaty-making. Their community of Behchokǫ̀ is the largest Dene community in the Northwest Territories, a living center of a language and culture asserting its future on its own terms. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that landmark legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
