That wasnt the case however when dry lightning sparked over 20 res all the way from Norman Wells to the Alberta-NWT border bringing the total number of res in the territory since the beginning of the early re season to 34. As a comparison we would have had three to ve res around this time last year and we have had 34 res at this point in time said manager of re operations for En- vironment and Natural Resources ENR Rick Olsen. So the number of res has noticeably increased. Already the territory has 23 of its 28 Type 1 initial attack crews en- gaged and all aircraft manned in- cluding helicopters and air tankers though no community is presently at risk. Currently the majority of the res are burning in the Dehcho region where four of the 17 res are being actionedbytankersnearTroutLake. Dryness is pervasive across the NWT where summer tempera- tures came two to three weeks earlier than usual across the De- hcho North Slave and South Slave regions with record temperatures We might get some reprieve this week from lightning compared to last week he said. Lightning has caused the major- ity of ongoing res while an active coal seam re ignited nearby veg- etation along the Mackenzie River near Tulita. There have been four person-caused res in the NWT to date in Inuvik Fort Smith and Hay River. Four other res have been conrmed as holdovers from last year all of which are in the Fort Providence-Behchoko area.

Last week cold trough systems began to move their way underhigh- pressure ridge systems in the NWT bringing dry lightning. Though there is still no indica- tion of rain Olsen said colder air coming from the Eastern Arctic this week will likely see fewer re starts.

Even starting out this spring our drought levels or measurements of moisture within the forest oor started out in those areas a lot higher than what we would normally ex- pect Olsen said. The extent of really dry areas seems to be increasing from last year. The driest area in the territory is currently north of Fort Providence the scene of the ter- ritorys most massive re complex last sum- mer where the area hit an all-time drought code high in the NWT reaching a record level of 1024 last August - the rst time the drought code has surpassed 1000. The drought code is a computer-generated formula that calculates precipitation humid- ity wind temperature and dryness of fuels like trees where 400 is considered drought. This year the area started spring at a code of 350 and has moved up to the 485 mark over the past few weeks. Holdover res from that burn which survived the winter have already begun to pop up on either side of the highway between Fort Providence and Beh- choko. One of those located approximately 40 km northwest of Fort Providence is cur- rently being actioned. Another extremely dry area Olsen said is around Pine Point between Hay River and FortResolutionwhereWoodBuffaloNational Park transitions into the NWT east of Sandy Lake. Two res - both within the park - also sprung up last week as holdovers from the year before. One grew to 2000 hectares but both were put out by ENR bombers last week. Thoseareasarewhereweveseenover-win- terburnsfromlastseasonOlsensaid.Thats a very good indication of how dry things are is when a re smolders underground over the winter and then pops up in the spring. In Hay River Olsen said the drought code is around 400 and just slightly below that in Fort Smith at around 372. Closer to Fort Resolution its a little wetter hovering around 300. Each day without rain raises the drought code which needs at least 2.9 mm of rain to be held or pushed downward. So far Yellowknife has issued a re ban on open res within the community.

Province-wide re ban for Alberta Fire hazard extreme for Fort McMurray area By MEAGAN WOHLBERG The Alberta government issued a province- wide re ban on Monday prohibiting all open res including campres and charcoal bri- quettesincampgroundsorbackcountryareas. The ban applies to all areas within the provinces Forest Protection Area. Munici- palities and provincial parks may issue their own restrictions. Portable propane and gas stoves and bar- becues are allowed but all re permits previ- ously issued are now suspended or cancelled and no new re permits will be issued. The ban comes as ve wildres burn out of control in Alberta along with four others being held and 17 more under control. There have been 21 total wildres to date in Fort McMurray Wildfire Management Area where the re hazard continues to be extreme.

EDITORIAL COLUMN The compelling case to control and manage pot Police said the bikers involved in the shoot- out in Waco Texas last week were criminal gangs involved in selling drugs such as co- caine marijuana and methamphetamines. Marijuana is the cash crop. Marijuana also got the Mexican drug cartels started over 70 years ago and remains a mainstay of their business today as they overow the US border and reach their tentacles into Canadian cities. Marijuana continues to be popular as a rec- reationaldrug throughouttheUS andCanada fetching fat prots for those who offer it. The underground supply chain is sophisticated and pervasive. Since it is a sought-after and illegal drug it fosters criminal enterprises even grows criminal empires. It is the fuel for the re. All that violence and chaos and criminality with marijuana at the base of it continues to worsen after over 60 years of the war on drugs. Meanwhile change is in the air. There is a rising awareness that marijuana may not be evil as once thought and indeed may actually have a benecial side. More and more positive medical uses are being proven to the point that doctors are allowed to prescribe it and even the government of Canada has licensed marijuana grow operations. Polls have determined 45 per cent of Ca- nadians have used the drug recreationally which means millions of Canadians have per- formed a criminal act. In fact a large portion of the population continues to do so. They are criminals under current laws. Almost all human societies indulge in some sortofstimulantthatreducesstressandimparts euphoria. If you believe the beer commercials Canadiansarehappiestwhentheyareholding a brown bottle or cold can full of that golden nectar.Alcoholispervasiveinoursocietylegal and condoned seen as a necessity of life. Alcohol is also the catalyst for most crime in the North. In particular it is the root cause of most family violence. Its depraved effects necessitatewomenssheltersineveryNorthern community so mothers can take their chil- dren to a refuge from their drunken spouses. By contrast those who prefer to indulge in marijuana typically do not hurt anyone. They just get the munchies. Studies over the last three years by differ- ent pollsters have shown consistently that two thirds of Canadians feel marijuana should be decriminalized. Possibly more signicant a Gallop poll last month in the US determined that 50 per cent of Americans feel marijuana should be legalized. Unlike Canadian prov- inces American states are somewhat auton- omous when it come to making and enforc- ing laws. The experiment in Colorado where marijuana has been legalized is being repli- cated in other states and although federal laws against it should dominate federal of- cials are turning a blind eye. In effect federal law is being guided by initiatives at the state level. What happens culturally in America invariably overows the 49th parallel into Canada. It is just a matter of time before we Canucks follow along. The case for marijuana to be controlled and managed through government regulation in order to thwart it as a ladder fuel for crimi- nal criminal activity is strong but the need is equally compelling for it to be monitored and managedforthesakeofyoungpeople.Thehigh- est percentage of regular users of marijuana are the young. Recent studies have shown that chronicuseofpotimpactsthedevelopingbrain of a teenager. As it is now widely available il- legally there is no recourse. Unlike alcohol which is carefully dispensed and managed distribution not to mention quality control of marijuana is left to criminals. Marijuana has become the elephant in the room in Canadian society. Many people who areproductiveotherwiselawabidingcitizens partake of it. Although some people become dependant on it it is seemingly less addictive than alcohol. It is no more a gateway drug that leadstoaddictionfrommoreseriousdrugslike cocaine and heroin than alcohol is. Regardless which party is elected this Oc- tober in Canada that new attitude toward marijuana in the US will in time be emulated in Canada. As that happens the billions of dollars once garnered from it by criminal gangs will be redirected to legitimate enter- prises. It will be a huge economic opportunity. There is already a new small scale economy around the production of medical marijuana. Provincial governments with foresight that support such initiatives will pave the way for the much more lucrative wave of mainstream growers and retailers that will follow. It is time for Canada to come to its senses. Marijuana is not nearly as bad as it is made out to be not as bad for the individual or so- ciety as alcohol. The reasons for legitimizing it so it can be controlled and the negative im- pacts mitigated are numerous and compel- ling. Lets get on with it. Polls have determined 45 per cent of Canadians have used the drug recreationally which means millions of Canadians have performed a criminal act. By TERRI FLEMMER Public Health Promotion Facilitator Alberta Health Services Did you know that wearing a bicycle hel- met can greatly reduce the risk of brain in- jury Its the time of year where Albertans are taking out their bicycles and enjoying the benefits of cycling. Wearing a helmet while biking not only reduces the risk of injury its also the law for cyclists under the age of 18. The law applies to both rid- ers and passengers including children in bicycle trailers. Follow these tips to make sure your bike helmet ts properly Make sure the helmet is level from front to back when it is on. Check that the front edge of the helmet sits one to two finger widths above the eyebrows. Add or remove sizing pads or adjust the ring fit system to make sure the helmet fits snugly. Adjust the straps to form a V just below and in front of the earlobes. Fasten the chinstrap. Adjust the chinstrap so that it can fit the width of one finger between the chin and chinstrap. Ensure the helmet does not move when you nod or shake your head. Replace the helmet every ve years if it has not been in a crash. If the helmet has been in a crash replace it immediately. Do not paint or put stickers on the helmet as this may affect the safety of the helmet. Fol- low the manufacturers instructions which provide detailed information about the use and care of helmets. Second hand helmets are not recommended. Always be sure to wear the appropriate helmet for the appro- priate activity. By using your noggin and wearing a helmet you can help reduce the risk of being injured. For more information contact HealthLink Alberta at 1-866-408-5465.

It is said that you reap what you sow. If we are giving the com- mitment and time to grow- ing our own food we may as well make sure we get an abundant harvest and reap some food that not only will nourish our bodies but also our souls. Paying lots of at- tentiontothetimeinbetween the sowing and reaping is where the real good stuff is - its not only the destination but the journey that counts and at this time we are on the journey of continued care of our wonderful gardens. It is an investment of time that will be worthwhile. As spring takes us into an- otherforecasteddrysummer the garden needs to be main- tainedwithfrequentwatering weeding thinning of certain plantshillingofpotatoesand overallheart-feltcare.Perhaps some of the plants need some extra attention like a boost of organic liquid fertilizer or the sugar snap peas needing a netted upright fence. In my last column I talked abouttheimportanceofwater- ing in our dry climate. Sum- mersarewarmerandmoredry that they have been in the 27 years that I have grown food in Yellowknife. Likely your garden needs more water than you think especially if you grow vegetables and herbs in pots small spaces or mounded or raised beds. Watering In Yellowknife and sur- rounding area watering every 2 to 3 days is essential Gardening with Lone Caring for your Northern garden where the soil is quite peaty. Clay soils will keep the mois- ture longer. When water- ing you can check if you are doing a good job by using the best moisture-meter that is always available - your n- ger Simply test the mois- ture by sticking your nger in the soil being careful to not disturb the roots of the plants to nd out how deep the moisture is. Make sure that the moisture you are adding from the top reaches down to meet the moisture further down. There should not be a dry layer between these two. Later on in the summer as the plants grow and cover the ground the moisture stays longer and less watering may be needed. Weeding Many gardeners tend to ignore the weeds growing in their gardens. Some of course do not realize how quickly their potential abun- dant harvest can be lessened by weeds. Some gardeners may think if they ignore it the weeds will go away. Like everything else in life what you resist persists By simply getting famil- iar with each weed and in- cluding the weeding work as part of the joyful garden work removing them with respect and skill will give the food plants a much bet- ter chance to grow strong and big. As you remove the weeds the plants that you want to grow bigger now have more nutrients light and space. In the Yellowknife area the most common weeds are chickweed quack grass horsetail dandelion re- weed lambs quarters and several others. Chickweedandquackgrass cannot be pulled rather chickweed has to be lifted or cut from under the roots to get out the whole root sys- tem. Quack grass has to be dug out with a fork as does horsetail.

Patricia Sepp Time the Territorial Gov- ernment step up and have a say about our water Bear breaks into Fort Smith truck for a cup of coffee 6 Tuesday May 26 2015 ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE By MEAGAN WOHLBERG A couple from Fort Smith is certain the bear that broke into their truck and tore apart the interior was just looking for a cup of joe. Genevieve Ct and John Blyth were out for a hike at the Salt Plains near Fort Smith on Friday night to check out several pairs of whooping cranes nesting in the area when they came across a small but investigative black bear on their way back to the parking lot. It was a very curious bear Ct said. Rather than retreating the bear decided to move in for a closer look. We started yelling at it and it came to face us it didnt go away Blyth recounted. We thought maybe we made the wrong choice not to bring bear spray this time but we started throwing huge rocks and eventually it moved into the bush. After they returned to the lookout Ct started noticing chunks of foam littering the ground and the passenger door of their pickup was open. She wondered if Blyth had accidentally left it open until she looked in- side and saw the passenger seat had been torn apart and there were claw marks all over the side of the truck and on the inside door. Paw prints show the bear did indeed open the door handle itself and a single devoured item revealed the probable motive a cup of coffee from Kellys gas bar in town chewed and left empty on the seat. I think that bear wanted a coffee Ct said with a laugh. If you lived at the Salt Plains youd get thirsty too added Blyth jokingly. The pair shared their experience on Face- book just to let people know about the pres- ence of the bear and to ensure they lock their doors and close their windows when visiting the Salt Plains but Ct hopes the encoun- ter doesnt deter visitors from checking out the iconic Wood Buffalo National Park site. Of course theres bears its nature. Its beautiful and its where wild things live she said. We live in the bush so of course we are going to see some bears. We just hope that doesnt scare people from going because you can see two pairs of whooping cranes. That said Ct noted the likelihood of such a curious bear getting caught eventually. It should have been scared of us and it was not she said. Wildlife put on a show While down at the Salt Plains the duo said they watched four whooping cranes flying and prancing around the flat landscape when a wolf emerged from the trees and approached one of the birds. After the crane squared up to the wolf and showed off its massive wingspan however the predator thought better of its plan and skulked off. It was an epic 45 minutes with such awe- some wildlife Ct said. PhotosGenevieveCt An empty coffee cup and a ripped seat were what John Blyth and Genevieve Ct returned to after a bear broke into their truck while they were out hiking. Paw prints can be seen all over the truck from the side mirror and door handle to these ones on the trucks tail gate where the bear stood up to check out what was in the box. Salt River First Nation filing injunction over whooping crane tours By DALI CARMICHAEL The Salt River First Nation SRFN has announced it will file an injunction to stop Wood Buffalo National Parks WBNP new whooping crane tour program citing a lack of consultation by the federal government agency with Aboriginal groups on the initiative. SRFN Chief Frieda Martselos said the decision to put a halt to the Wood Buffalo Whooping Crane Experience was made dur- ing a council meeting held May 21. Parks Canada has failed to consult Salt River First Nation in respect to Parks Cana- das guided whooping crane tours and tours of the whooping crane nesting areas in the Wood Buffalo National Park she said in an interview with The Journal. Salt River First Nation is bringing the federal court action to stop the tours and to protect their Treaty 8 and their treaty land entitlement rights in our traditional territory and to protect the 12-10 trapping area in accordance with sec- tion 35 of the Constitution of 1982. As of publication time Martselos and SRFN had not heard a response from the park re- garding the request for an injunction. Were disappointed that they did not feel that they had an obligation to consult Salt River and we were surprised and very disappointed that they didnt do their due diligence Martselos said. The whoop- ing cranes are an endangered species. The members of Salt River respect that and we want to ensure that when they are going to do anything this drastic to an endangered species they have a duty to consult Salt River First Nation. The tours were set to start May 25 with several excursions taking place over the course of the summer. Different experien- tial packages range from 1400 to 3900 and include everything from flights over the birds nesting grounds to hikes into a blind set up only a few hundred metres from the birds habitat. Its sad when you think about it because there was definitely no consultation on putting their proposal together said Ken Hudson president of the Fort Smith Mtis Council whose members also hold rights in the park. I have since found out that the ceilings for the flying that they have pro- posed - 1000 feet for fixed wing aircraft and 1200 for helicopters - were unaccept- able to Canadian Wildlife Service CWS and other groups that have concerns with the whooping cranes. The Journal reached out to CWS for con- firmation but did not receive a response be- fore press time. Hudson said he fears that the low-flying craft might scare off the whooping cranes causing them to abandon their eggs. This would set back decades of conservation work to restore the population from less than 20 birds to more than 300. The matter was first discussed at a coopera- tive management meeting held in Hay River this past April that included representatives from SRFN the Mtis and other Aboriginal groups in the area. Thats where Parks was going to present their proposal said Hudson. We didnt allow them to present the proposal because every- body was upset that they even had a proposal developed and bookings all ready for an event that we had no knowledge of and no partici- pation in putting together. Members of Smiths Landing First Nation who also hold rights in WBNP did not return calls from The Journal. WBNP representatives declined to com- ment on the matter at this time.

Around 70 youth will take to the stage of the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre in Yel- lowknife on Saturday to deliver a one-time performance painstakingly crafted from poems and music the students themselves created during workshops at their schools last winter with musical accompaniment by Torontos famed Gryphon Trio. The 25-minute piece arranged over three monthsbyVancouver-basedcomposerJeffrey Ryan is made up of six movements convey- ing words and melodies students conjured up to describe the four elements. The music was sent out to all the teach- ers in March for the kids to begin practic- ing but this week marks the rst time the students from Inuvik Norman Wells Fort Simpson Fort Smith Hay River and Yel- lowknife will all be in the same place at the same time. Ryan said the focus for the next few days will be on bonding and rehears- ing as a unied choir with the conductors and musicians. I think all the kids have risen to the chal- lenge and theres excitement building Ryan said. Its so exciting because it involved so many communities and so many students. Im looking forward to seeing so many won- derful students all in the same place. The piece incorporates poetry and mel- odies from each of the six communities though only 26 of the 97 compositions col- lected over the weeks that Ryan and Yel- lowknife-based composer Carmen Barden Fledgling composers ock to Yellowknife for last Listen Up toured through the NWT last fall could be used due to time restraints. That said even the work that couldnt lit- erally be translated into the choral piece has had an inspiring effect on the total product Ryan said and poems and artwork associ- ated with the project will be presented and displayed throughout as part of the multi- media performance. I had to leave a lot of great material on the table a lot of wonderful poetry Ryan said. But it was an inspiration to have that contact with all the participants and re- member what each community was like and I wanted to honour their intention as emerging composers. The piece begins and closes with move- ments encompassing all four elements while the central four movements take the audi- ence through poetic explorations of earth water wind and re. Some of it will involve singing some clapping some walking in rhythm with poetry a bit of chanting and other spoken word aspects. Though many of the youth will have never sung in a choir before Ryan said the com- position is designed to ensure each voice is held up by the others. I wanted it to be a fun but achievable challenge with a reward at the end Ryan said. Its mostly all in unison so there will be support for each other in the choir...Its all about bringing the communities together to support one another. Documentary to capture nal opus The NWT nale will be a once in a life- time performance of the Listen Up project which typically works with a single school in a single community at a time but one set of lmmakers is hoping to capture all the magic behind the scenes and from the audi- ences perspective as the project culminates on stage this Saturday. PJ Marcellino and Hermon Farahi will be in the NWT this week to nish lming for their documentary Way Up North which has documented the Listen Up project in the territory since workshops started in the schools last year. The lm proles many of the students ed- ucators and musicians involved in the proj- ect throughout the months of work hoping to catch the sparks of inspiration as youth are moved to see themselves as forces of creativity and talent. The lm crew will be heading to Yellow- knife with the class from Inuvik for the nal performance and then heading back up to Inuvik to document the kids reections on the experience. ThecameraswillalsoturntoseveralNorth- ern indigenous musicians like Leela Gilday and Susan Aglukark to draw comparisons to their own paths to success. We want to create a parallel with what their process was and the students what their process could possibly be Marcellino said. The dramatic narrative is what we could expect from these kids the moment when things click. Im extremely excited to have those things intersect on screen. Marcellino plans to have a community screening in Yellowknife during the Yellow- knife International Film Festival in October. The nale of Listen Up will take place on May 30 at 730 p.m. at the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre NACC in Yellowknife. Tickets are available online at naccnt.ca or at the NACC box ofce.

Theannualgatheringofreadersandwriters in Yellowknife is focusing slightly inward this year with its theme of Lets Celebrate staying true to its mission of facilitating the creation of a Northern and Aboriginal literary culture. What we decided were celebrating is the achievements of NorthWords over the past 10 years what weve done how weve managed to encourage local Northern and Aboriginal writing here and also look to the Northern writers of the future said NorthWords ex- ecutive director Ruth Bowen. The NWTs young future writers will be participating in the festival this year unlike ever before.

Tuesday May 26 2015 9 By DALI CARMICHAEL Students across the NWT were encour- aged to step away from modern life to take a look into their pasts in preparation for the 2015 Territorial Heritage Fair. Following competitions at the local and regional level the annual event was held at Chief Albert Wright School in Tulita this year from May 7 to 9 where the best projects from NWT students in Grades 4 through 9 were put on display for a nal round of judgement. Grade 7 student Kea Furniss 13 from Wil- liam McDonald middle school took home the overall award. Her project was dedicated to the history of pictorial indigenous calendars in a French presentation called Les comptes dhiver or winter counts. It felt pretty good because it was a lot of work and this was something that was re- ally interesting to me Furniss said of her win. Theyre pictographic calendars that Plains Indians used to do. They used to choose one event each year so that it was memorable to them and they used to draw it on a bison hide. Furniss was inspired to complete her project on winter counts after encounter- ing them at an Edmonton museum last year. I was with my family visiting Head- Smashed-In-Buffalo Jump - its a museum in Alberta - and I saw they had a win- ter count there one that was done by the Blackfeet Nation and I got really inter- ested. I did more research and chose to do my project on it. Furniss set-up included a variety of el- ements to describe the winter counts. The majority of her project revolved around the work done by the Lakota people who had some of the most comprehensive Youth highlight history at Territorial Heritage Fair EDUCATION HERITAGE information available on their winter counts. I talked about what it was and I talked about the keepers - the people who looked after it and drew on it - and I talked about pictographs she said. She used examples from the Smithson- ian Institutions collection to demonstrate what the calendars look like and how they function. A good sport Furniss said she was im- pressed with the other presentations on display at the territorial nals. There was a lot of cool projects from other places she said. One of my friends did hers on sh preserving and then someone did it on biathlon - thats one of my favourite sports so that was pretty cool. Ministers Awards In addition to Furniss project students from six regions of the NWT were given Min- istersAwardsonbehalfofEducationCulture and Employment Minister Jackson Lafferty. Grade 9 student Dacho Poole from Lutsel Ke took home the South Slave award for his project highlighting the legacy of Chief Akai- tcho. Fort Simpsons Abigail Pascua-Matte a Grade 6 student won in the Dehcho region for her presentation on the communitys old schoolhouse at Bompas Hall. From Yellowknife Lucia Nakehko Grade 6 was recognized for her topical project on the Walking with our Sisters traveling art ex- hibit which honours the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women. Sahtu region representative Sheyla Kunkel also of Grade 6 shone on home turf as the Tulita student who won for her project on Shutaotine elder and storied leader Fred Andrew. From the Tlicho Garra Dryneck a Grade 5 student from Whati won for her work on an ances- tor whom she called The Bravest Woman. From the Beaufort Delta Grade 4 student Angelina Jerome of Inuvik was tapped for her project on her great great grandmother Susie Sydney. All of the winners were clearly passion- ate about their topics of choice something that Furniss saw as a dening factor for the selection of winners. Just work hard and make sure your proj- ect is on something interesting Furniss offered to students angling to compete in future Heritage Fairs. If its no fun to pres- ent or its not fun to do then there isnt re- ally any point.

Watt-Cloutier released her newautobiographyTheRight To Be Cold One Womans Story of Protecting her Cul- turetheArcticandtheWhole Planet at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre Sunday afternoon where she took time to discuss the book with the crowd. Lifeisntjustaboutreceiv- ing awards its really about howonecanstrugglethrough life and come from humble beginnings and still make it in the world Watt-Clouter said in an interview with The Journal. For me it was im- portanttosharethestoryand thekindsofobstaclesthatone hastoconfrontandovercome in order to get to where one getsthatkindofrecognition. In the book Watt-Clout- ier recalls back as far as her childhood when she was re- movedfromherhomeinNun- avik northern Quebec to live with a southern foster family. The autobiographical nature of the publication allowed Watt-Cloutier to address is- sues through her lens as an activist for Inuit culture in- digenous rights and the pro- tection of Arctic ecosystems. I really wanted to put the problemsthatarefacedinour communities - the poverty the violence the abuses the suicides - into a context that can be more recognisable and understandable she said. We now have to strengthen ourselves and really be able to move forward in a world where the world is now eye- ing the rich resources that lie beneath the melting ice. Its the human story behind all the scientic stories that comeoutanditsastoryfrom within our communities. While writing The Right To Be Cold Watt-Cloutier said she had less of a concern about its quality as a literary work with more of a focus on its message. I own it and Ive stood ground writing it. Im proud of it and I know that for the average person it will reso- nate and they will read it with facility and relate to it she said. With sponsorship from Tides Canada and the Yellow- knife Book Cellar the book launch was hosted by Dene Nahjo-anenvironmentaland indigenous rights group - as a part of its Indigenous Cir- cumpolar Womens Leader- ship Initiative. Cloutier was invited as a keynote speaker at the groups rst event in late 2014 where Aborigi- nal women leaders from across the North were able to network. I have enormous respect for Dene Nahjo and what theyre trying to do Watt- Cloutier said. It has taught many of us that this is a re- markable - I dont like to use the word movement because its a short-term kind of thing - but a long-term view of a way in which the remarkable youngleadersinthenextgen- eration are going to pave the way. It was very encouraging and inspiring for me. Kyla Kakfwi Scott a founder of Dene Nahjo said the organization was thrilled at the opportu- nity to host the Yellowknife launch of Watt-Cloutiers memoir. Her work and her lifes work is very tied to the work of Dene Nahjo in terms of supporting indigenous lead- ership and protecting lan- guage and culture and land and all of those core values that weve set out in our mis- sion Scott said. She talks about all those same things and its a great way for us to raise awareness support a Northern leader...Its really exciting to have someone as prominent as Sheila here and to have her in a format where people can interact with her directly. Reviews and commentary on The Right to Be Cold - which was ofcially released about two months ago - are stillrollinginbutsofarWatt- Cloutierhasbeencommended for sharing her story in a way that resonates with people across the country. Oftentimes the com- ments will come back and say I love the way that youve embraced all parts of yourself the weak the strong the struggles the highs and the lows and made it part of the entire story Watt-Cloutier said. People dont know much about what goes on when youre a con- nected Aboriginal leader heading out to these UN fo- rums and what that entails.

The two parties signed an agreement last Wednesday binding them to negotiating ingoodfaithwithoneanother and wiping the slate clean of past accusations. Basically what it came down to was a standoff and I guessinordertotryandbring things back to reality what we needed to do was wrestle withastatementofgoodfaith an agreement thats going to actually bring the groups to- gether and the rules of how were going to conduct our- selvessaidDFNGrandChief Herb Norwegian. What brought that on was just the accusations that went back and forth over the last few months where it - nally got to the point where no one was actually negoti- ating. It came down to tak- ing a break and it was sug- gested that what we needed was to arrive at a statement or an agreement that would actually tie people together to negotiations on how this discussion will take place. The agreement requires all partiestoparticipateinnego- tiationswithasinceredesireto successfullyconcludenegotia- tions without any ill intent or improper motives including dishonesty fraud or intention to frustrate the negotiations andtodealhonestlyandclearly with each other but does not preclude parties from taking rmpositionstheotherparty mightndobjectionablepro- vided the motive is justied.

MartinGoldneythedeputy minister for Aboriginal Af- fairs and Intergovernmental Relations in the NWT said the agreement resulted from a move by DFN to withdraw previous accusations that the GNWTwasnotconductingne- gotiations in good faith.

Negotiations on land quan- tum and management will now take place over the com- ing months including rep- resentatives from Canada. The next main table talks are scheduled for mid-June. GNWTs offer wont change Goldney Though the agreement clearstheairmovingforward Goldney signalled that the GNWTs offer on land quan- tum will remain the same. We dont see a new offer fromtheGNWTforthcoming Goldney said. The premiers been very clear that the offer that is on the table is really the extent of our mandate but we do think that hav- ing more discussions at the negotiationtablewillallowfor more information exchange and hopefully appreciation for that offer will continue to grow. Negotiations broke down earlier this year after the GNWT made a nal offer on land quantum in January that DFN rejected. Further attempts at going back to the table failed to solve the im- passe with the GNWT con- tinuing to offer essentially the same quantity of land and DFN repeatedly reject- ing the offer. That offer would give DFN ownership of 33488 square- km of land with both surface andsubsurfacetitleor37500 square-km of land with only surfacetitleplus17.78percent generalizedinterestinallsub- surface oil gas and minerals.

The Dehcho are looking for moreland.Basedoncompari- sons to the Tlicho which was offered 39000 square-km of surface title Norwegian said an equal deal for DFN based on their higher popu- lation count should amount toaround50000square-km. Prior to getting back to the table Norwegian said DFN leaders and elders will con- vene to sort out the specics of what they want to see on the issue of land quantum. We need to have a really strong thinktank on how we want to approach this whole issueoflandbecauseitsgoing to be a major undertaking he said. We have some basic principlesandoutlinesonhow we want to approach it but I think we need to tighten that up a bit and be very specic on what it is were going to in- struct our negotiators.

Study estimates 200 billion barrels of shale oil below NWT By MEAGAN WOHLBERG Thersteverassessmentof unconventional oil resources in the Northwest Territo- ries conrms there could be close to 200 billion barrels of shale resources beneath the surface in the territorys two major plays. The joint assessment re- leased last week by the Na- tional Energy Board and NWT Geological Survey makes estimates for the Canol and Bluefish shale plays in the Central Mack- enzie region. The assessment estimates a volume of 145 billion bar- rels of shale oil within the Canol and another 46 bil- lion barrels in the thinner Bluesh shale. The amount of recover- able oil was not estimated because well-test results are not yet publicly available and there is still uncertainty about whether the shales are capable of production states the joint news release issued last Friday. How- ever if only one per cent of the in-place resource was recovered from the Canol Shale it would represent a marketable resource of 1.45 billion barrels. NWT Industry Tour- ism and Investment Min- ister David Ramsay said the study confirms what the government has known all along about significant petroleum potential in the Sahtu region. Scientific research in the NWT provides critical data for decision-making about land and resource manage- ment he said. This new research complements the ongoing science to monitor permafrost seismic activity and water in the region. If developed these petroleum resources would create jobs and business opportuni- ties and provide royalties to the GNWT and Aborig- inal governments to sup- port investment in North- ern priorities. Both the Canol and Blue- sh plays would be developed through hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Fourteen exploration li- censes have been granted in the Canol play since 2010-11 for a total of 627.5 million in work-bid commitments. Seven exploration wells have been drilled since 2012 though there are no active projects currently. Husky Energy withdrew its plans to frack up to four horizontal wells near Nor- man Wells last winter while ConocoPhillips has yet to tar- get any capital funds to con- tinuing its exploratory frack- ingintheareaandlikelywont until 2016 at the earliest ac- cording to the company.

Solo artist Casey Koyczan a.k.a. The Bush- man - NT and visual artist Jillian Mazur have teamed up to kick off Northern Artists AgainstHungerNAAHanorganizationthey hope will become the nucleus of a movement to ght food security issues in Nunavut the NWT and the Yukon. Were saying naah to hunger in the North Koyczan said. Its kind of cheeky but I think it works. The duo hopes to connect artists across the territories in a series of concerts and gallery shows to raise funds for soup kitchens and shelters for the communities that need it most. In the future what Id like to see as my vision is numerous events going on in the Yukon NWT and Nunavut and potentially having artists playing in these other cities - not so much artists themselves ying to other cities to play - but those communities host- ing their own events and then being able to donate that money towards the foundations they see t he said. The organization is only just starting up but Koyczan is optimistic about its future. NAAH is already networking with food banks and artists throughout the territories to or- ganize localized fundraisers. The group is also looking for a researcher on Northern communities to identify which ones most urgently need assistance. This is a basic grassroots effort in order for artists and musicians to take these mat- ters into their own hands so that we dont have any bureaucratic blockages in the way Koyczan said. The money that we acquire can go straight back to these shelters and food banks within the areas that are in the most need. Born in Yellowknife and raised in the North Koyczan said he felt the impacts of food scar- city from an early age and found the effects to be more pervasive as he ventured to in- creasingly remote locations. I grew up seeing the minimal efforts that have been made in the North and the effects of food shortages mostly in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories he said. I saw it rst hand when I went up to Inuvik and Tuktoyak- tuk a couple years ago going to the grocery stores and seeing almost nothing. Even lo- cally when the ice road was out sort of thing we had next to no produce. This isnt Koyczans rst foray into activ- ism through art. In March he helped orga- nize the initial For the Land Northern Art- ists Against Fracking event an evening of artistic protest against hydraulic fracking in the NWT. On May 29 he plans to hold a second anti-fracking event at Northern United Place. The NAAH launch party and rst fund- raiser is set to take place at the Top Knight in Yellowknife on May 30. Musical guests have been selected and visual artists are still welcome to sign up. Until he can help facilitate local shows throughout the North Koyczan is encour- aging Northern talent to join the cause by coming to Yellowknife for events if possible or sending their art his way to be displayed. Were artists and were musicians - we dont make a lot of money ourselves - but we have this ability and these talents in order to help other people in order to change lives for other people Koyczan said. This is our way of helping. Artists use their talents to protest fracking in the NWT earlier this year. At the end of May the group will be using their art for activism once again raising funds for northern communities facing food insecurity.

By DALI CARMICHAEL The territorys best performing athletes of the year along with their coaches and support systems were recognized for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports at a banquet held in Yellowknife this weekend. Shedding their gear for a more formal uni- form the athletes gathered at the Explorer Hotel on Saturday evening where they were addressed by keynote speaker and Canadian Olympic volleyball player Michelle Sawatzky before receiving their awards. Since playing in the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta Georgia Sawatzky has encouraged youth to fight to achieve their goals against all odds a message that Northern athletes live out with every competition they attend. This years Mary Beth Miller Memorial award for senior athlete of the year went to cross country runner Alea Stockton who has carried her athletic career from the NWT to Kelowna where she competes for his school at UBC Okanagan. Hockey player Johnnie Bowden from Yellowknife was also recognized as a senior athlete of the year while Fort McPhersons Rayna Vittrekwa was named junior athlete for her curling skills. After years of rising through the ranks judo came out as one of the big winners this year with multiple awards going towards the sport. Ndilos Brent Betsina who nabbed the NWTs only medal at this years Canada Winter Games was honoured with the title of male junior athlete of the year. His coach Mario Desforges was also recognized as the territorys top coach of 2015. NorthAmericanIndigenousGamesveteran Darius Andre of Tsiigehchic was awarded for his efforts as a top canoeist at the 2014 sum- mer games where he captured medals and glory for his team. He and Madison McPhee of Hay River a star track runner both took homeyouthathleteoftheyearawardsfortheir amazing performances. Yellowknifes NWT Rebels Broomball cel- ebrated being named team of the year after both the mens and womens teams swept gold at the 2014 World Broomball Champi- onships in Japan. Softball enthusiast Paul Gard based in Yellowknife was given this years Ruth Inch Memorial award for his years of contribution to the sport. Roslyn Firth of Fort Liard who organizes the communitys fledging snowboarding pro- gramming as well as cross country skiing and soccer was given the Delma Kisoun Me- morial award for her work as an outstanding community contributor. You cant officially play a sport without an official and anyone will tell you that some are better at making calls than oth- ers. Yellowknifes Glen Meehan a softball shot caller took home the Dennis Crane Memorial award for being the official of the year. Its also tough to play organized sports without funding. This years top corporate contributor to sport was Yellowknifes Ca- nadian Tire Store 453.

By DALI CARMICHAEL The organizers behind Fort Smiths bian- nual Relay for Life fundraising event took a break from their preparation duties for an afternoon to host a Cancer Survivors Lunch. Rather than focusing on the often devas- tating impacts of the disease the mood was light and fun as the survivors current pa- tients and their caregivers nibbled on cake and enjoyed a cool glass of punch.
