February 9, 2026
Indigenous partners in the Taltson hydro expansion want the project to be the South Slave’s answer to what diamond mines did for the Tłı̨chǫ, MLAs heard on Friday.
Jake Heron of the NWT Métis Nation, speaking at a public briefing in Yellowknife, said an expansion of the Taltson hydro plant is “probably the single largest proposed project that Indigenous groups will ultimately be in charge of.”
The NWT Métis Nation is part of a working group to advance the project involving multiple Indigenous governments and the GNWT.
