The Sahtu Dene Council is a council that represents the Sahtu people of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The council signed a comprehensive land claim agreement in 1993 with the Government of Canada, the Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, [1] for the seven Dene and Métis communities [2] in the Sahtu Region. It is the first such agreement to include three Métis members ( Tulita, Fort Good Hope and Norman Wells) in the Northwest Territories. The Sahtu Secretariat Incorporated and various designated organizations implement the agreement and pursue ongoing negotiations. [3] The Sahtu Dene Council represents the four Indian Band councils.
