K’atl’odeeche First Nation to sign on to N.W.T. devolution deal – Idle No More
The K’atl’odeeche First Nation near Hay River will formally sign onto the Northwest Territories devolution deal next week.
Chief Roy Fabian will sign the agreement Monday morning at the legislative assembly in Yellowknife.
The First Nation had concerns that devolution would put too much power in the hands of the territorial government. But the chief says by signing on, the First Nation will get a share of resource royalties and the opportunity to be at the table when issues around land and resources are up for discussion.
