See what people are asking about Deline Self-Government

  • How will the new government be organized?

    The Deline Got’ine Government (DGG) will bring together the Charter Community, the Deline Land Corporation and the Deline First Nation Band into a single government.

    It will include:

    • The Ekwatide (Chief)
    • The Deline K’aowedo Ke (Council)
    • The Deline ʔohda K’aowe Ke (Elders Council)
    • The Deline K’a Dats’eredi Ke (Justice Council)
    • The Beneficiaries Board (Land Claim Board)

    Each part has its own roles and responsibilities. The Beneficiaries Board will be separate from the rest of the DGG and will make decisions on how land claim money, assets and rights are used and managed.

  • Can I expect to get the same level of service as before?

    The Final Self-Government Agreement says that people in Deline will continue to have programs and services that are similar to those in other communities in the NWT. To help make sure this happens, the Deline Got’ine Government (DGG) will have to set up and enforce its own standards. This will make sure that the programs and services are delivered safely and effectively.

    The standards for many programs, like those for child protection, must line up with standards across the NWT. For other programs and services, the DGG will be able to set standards that are better suited to the language, culture and traditions of Deline.
