TWC supported Tłı̨chǫ Traditional Knowledge and Experience at mine sites undergoing reclamation near Great Bear Lake (e.g., Terra Mine) and Giant Mine in Yellowknife as part of the commitment to ensure that remediation and closure planning reflected Tłıc̨hǫ interests. TWC worked with the Tłıc̨hǫ Government and Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada in the delivery of these projects. The projects brought together community engagement focused on gathering experiences with these mines and spatial information gathering to ensure that planning and regulatory reporting reflected Traditional Knowledge and local priorities.
Our role included coordination support including ensuring local hires, engagement planning, and respectful documentation of Traditional Knowledge shared by Elders and land users. In parallel, TWC contributed GIS and spatial mapping support to help visualize place based narratives, historical land use, and culturally significant areas. These mapping products were developed collaboratively to support shared understanding of the remediation context.
