Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation says it will withhold support for federal major projects without an apology
Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation says it will withhold support for federal major infrastructure projects if it doesn’t receive an apology from the territorial government for a cultural camp raid that happened four years ago.
The N.W.T. government fell under fire in 2022 for what the Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation (LKDFN) calls a “forceful invasion” of a camp on Artillery Lake. Wildlife officers spent hours searching family tents and teepees. The First Nation has said the event left children in tears and elders traumatized.
