The Gwichya Gwich’in Council of Tsiigehtchic, N.W.T., plans to enter self-government negotiations alone with the federal and territorial governments and no longer be part of the Gwich’in Tribal Council in the discussions.
At its annual general assembly Wednesday, Gwich'in Tribal Council Grand Chief Ken Kyikavichik outlined how a 'Dinjii Zhuh Regional Government' would be structured, what powers it would have, and how long it would take to set up.
