The Tłı̨chǫ Government is preparing guidelines to formalize the procedures for community engagement on proposals for development in Mowhì Gogha Dè Nįįtłèè. The guidelines recognize that engagement and information requirements will vary depending on the type and scale of development. Our presentation will review enabling legislation, the guideline applications, the goals, and guiding principles. These guiding principles are set based in Tłı̨chǫ way of life, such as respect, coexistence, and inclusiveness.
