Tlicho Government

The Tlicho Government is the local governing body for the Tlicho people in Canada's Northwest Territories. It manages community services, land use, cultural preservation, and economic development, ensuring decisions reflect Tlicho values and interests. Established through self-government agreements, it operates alongside federal and territorial governments, granting the Tlicho people authority over certain areas to promote their autonomy and cultural identity. This governance model balances traditional practices with modern governance, aiming to improve living conditions and preserve Tlicho heritage.
