A Report of an Inquiry into an Injustice chronicles Peter
Kulchyski's experiences with the Begade Shuhtagot'ine, a small
community of a few hundred people living in and around Tulita
(formerly Fort Norman), on the Mackenzie River in the heart of
Canada's Northwest Territories. Despite their formal objections and
boycott of the agreement, the band and their lands were included in
the Sahtu treaty, a modern comprehensive land claims agreement
negotiated between the Government of Canada and the Sahtu Tribal
Council, representing Dene and Metis peoples of the region. While
both Treaty Eleven (1921) and the Sahtu Treaty (1994) purport to
extinguish Begade Shuhtagot'ine Aboriginal title, oral history and
documented attempts to exclude themselves from treaty strongly
challenge the validity of that extinguishment. Structured as a
series of briefs to an inquiry into the Begade Shutagot'ine's
claim, this manuscript documents the negotiation and implementation
of the Sahtu treaty and amasses evidence of historical and
continued presence and land use to make eminently clear that the
Begade Shuhtagot'ine are the continued owners of the land by law:
they have not extinguished title to their traditional territories;
they continue to exercise their customs, practices, and traditions
on those territories; and they have a fundamental right to be
consulted on, and refuse or be compensated for, development
projects on those territories. Kulchyski bears eloquent witness to
the Begade Shuhtagot'ine people's two-decade struggle for land
rights, which have been blatantly ignored by federal and
territorial authorities for too long.
