The Tłıc̨hǫ Government is governed by the Tłıc̨hǫ Constitution. The Constitution establishes our government under the authority of an Assembly. The Grand Chief, community Chiefs and representative Councillors of Behchokǫ, Gamètì, Wekweètì and Whatì sit on the Assembly. The Chiefs Executive Council oversee the administration of the Government through the work of the Tłıc̨hǫ Executive Officer.The Tłı̨chǫ Agreement was negotiated by the Dogrib Treaty 11 Council, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT), and the Government of Canada. It is the first combined comprehensive land claim and self-government agreement in the Northwest Territories. In 2005 the Tłı̨chǫ Nation ratified the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement, a modern Treaty with the Government of Canada. The agreement provides and defines certain rights relating to lands, resources and self-government.A vision is our guide to what we believe is most important. Our elders provide the vision for the Tłıc̨hǫ Government. Their vision "Iłè dǫ gha gǫıta" or "In Tłıc̨hǫ Unity" speaks to being one people, one nation where we continue to celebrate our shared language, culture and way of life into the future.Tłıc̨hǫ Unity will ensure:• our land and environment will endure;• our language, culture and way of life will be sustained;• our people, our families and our communities remain strong; and• our nation will prosper.Our mission is to preserve, protect and promote our land, and our language, culture and way of life, as long as this land shall last.
