Dehcho Region

As land claim issues are settled and the appropriate boards and committees are set up in this land claim region, the consultation process will likely be altered simultaneously. At present, a general guideline for the consultation process for proposed research in the Dehcho Region is as follows:

1. If research is to take place within the municipal limits of the community, contact the Municipal Council(s);
2. If research involves community residents, contact the local Band Council(s) and Métis Local(s); and
3. If the research is to take place outside the community’s municipal limits, contact the local  Renewable Resources Council (RRC) or Hunters and Trappers Committee (HTC). If the community does not have a formal HTC, contact the local Band Council and/or Métis Local.
4. All researchers must contact the appropriate Regional Councils, and Committees regarding their studies.
