Traditional Knowledge Submission to NWT Diamonds Project Environmental Assessment Review Hearings (Lutsel K'e First Nation, February 1996)
The Lutsel K'e First Nation submission to the NWT Diamonds Project environmental review hearings argues that the Environmental Impact Statement inadequately incorporates traditional knowledge and contains inaccurate information about land use, wildlife impacts, and archaeological sites. The submission recommends postponing the project until comprehensive traditional knowledge research is completed with full consultation and adequate time and resources provided to Indigenous peoples.
