About
Stephen Kakfwi
An Introduction
IN the past quarter century
Canada’s north and all its residents, especially
Aboriginal people, have undergone a remarkable political,
democratic, environmental, economic, cultural and geo-political
transformation.
Stephen Kakfwi, former Northwest Territories Premier
and Dene Nation President, has been at the forefront
of all these developments. |
| His experiences
and perspectives on a wide range of historic and contemporary
NWT issues make Stephen Kakfwi a popular public speaker
at conferences and meetings of resource industries, the
academic community, environmental organizations, governments
and Aboriginal people.
Stephen Kakfwi can help Canadians to
learn more about the north, to understand the experiences
of the Dene, the contemporary challenges all northerners
face, their vision for a self governing and self reliant
territory, and the importance of all these developments
for the rest of Canada.
He has been outspoken in his beliefs
on the importance of NWT Aboriginal participation in
the northern political and economical mainstream, balancing
northern resource development with stewardship of the
land, and protecting and preserving NWT Aboriginal languages,
culture and traditions.
