About Us
The Athabasca Denesųłiné NeNe Land Corporation represents the Athabasca Denesųłiné First Nations of Black Lake, Fond du Lac, and Hatchet Lake in the North of 60 Final Agreement negotiation process. The negotiation process started over 30 years ago from a court action brought on by the Athabasca Denesųłiné people to affirm their rights North of the 60th parallel.
After many years of difficult negotiations, the Athabasca Denesųłiné will soon enter the ratification process. This Agreement deals with constitutionally protected rights and benefits for the Athabasca Denesųłiné and applies to much of our traditional territory in NWT and Nunavut. The Final Agreement will include, for example, provisions on wildlife harvesting, resource management, land claim settlement area, Hunter/Trapper Organizations, as well as other rights and benefits.
