Tim O’Loan says he always wanted to be like his uncle Arthur Ted Blondin when he grew up.
“I became a negotiator because of my uncle Ted, so I was a negotiator with the Government of the Northwest Territories,” he said.
“He had a huge impact on me. He was like a father to me.”
Blondin, a respected Elder from the NWT’s Tłı̨chǫ region, passed away on Saturday at Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife surrounded by friends and family. He was 73.
