Łútsël K’é Dene First Nation Chief James Marlowe says he believes the establishment of Thaıdene Nëné National Park Reserve is “one of the best things that ever happened” to his community.
People from across the NWT and elsewhere in Canada gathered in Łútsël K’é on Wednesday to celebrate the first relationship plan for the Indigenous protected area.
The 10-year plan is called Thaıdene Nëné Badı Xá, meaning “watching over Thaıdene Nëné” in Dene Yatı. Grounded in nuwé ch’anıe – or Dene values and knowledge systems – it sets out a vision, goals and objectives for long-term stewardship of the protected area.
