Northern Alberta’s Dene Tha First Nation is asking to join the Northwest Territories-centred Dene Nation, saying that their members have been pushed apart from other Dene people by artificial borders.

Chief Joe Pastion says the Dene Tha’s request stems from a desire to join forces with other Dene First Nations, which are predominately located in the Northwest Territories.
