Welcome

Welcome to Tåîchô.ca

We want this site to be a celebration of all things Tåîchô. Our traditional lands are a vast area of boreal forests, waterways, and tundra stretching from the northern shores of Great Slave Lake to almost touch the southern shores of Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada. From the borders of Nunavut in the east towards the Mackenzie River in the west, our land is rich in wildlife and other resources.

5th Anniversary of the Effective Date

Today is a significant day in our history.  August 4th is a day for Tlicho citizens to remember and celebrate the struggles and the successes of the Tlicho nation.  On this day five years ago, the first   Tlicho Assembly session was held and the Tlicho Government was officially realized.  The day marked the end of a long negotiation process that concluded with the Tlicho Agreement and the signing of Bill C 14 in February 2005.  For all Tlicho citizens, today is a day that we remember the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
