Tłı̨chǫ Government

In 2005, Dog Rib Rae became part of the Tłı̨chǫ Government, and collectively holds title to 39,000 square kilometers of Tłı̨chǫ land. The new Behchokǫ̀ Community Government has assumed most of the band's powers and responsibilities. However, the federal government still recognizes Dog Rib Rae for Indian Act enrollment purposes.[1][2]
