After decades of arsenic pollution flowing from the now-closed Giant gold mine and poisoning the land of the Yellowknife Dene First Nation, negotiations continue with the federal government about compensation and reconciliation.
The most recent round of talks happened on March 11.
Afterwards the Crown-Indigenous Relations department issued the following statement: “In the spirit of reconciliation, departmental officials and the Yellowknives Dene First Nation are working collaboratively, through the establishment of a new working group, to allow for ongoing dialogue and to address any questions that may arise during the review.”
