YELLOWKNIFE (April 24, 2026) – Residents of the Northwest Territories are invited to review and submit questions or comments on the initial Draft United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Action Plan.

The initial Draft Action Plan outlines priority actions to guide how the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples will be implemented in the Northwest Territories over time. The plan was developed collaboratively by the Action Plan Committee, which includes representatives from Indigenous governments, Indigenous organizations, and the Government of the Northwest Territories.

This public engagement period is an opportunity for residents to learn more about what the Draft Action Plan proposes, how implementation is structured, and how progress will be tracked, and to ask questions or share comments to support clarity and transparency.

Public engagement opens April 24 and closes May 21, 2026. Questions and comments can be submitted online through Have Your Say at: https://haveyoursay.nwt-tno.ca/un-declaration.
