Salt River First Nation (SRFN) is a finalized Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) Nation under a 2001 agreement in the Northwest Territories, Canada. They have roughly 1100 members. Their land use plan is completed, and they have an engineered community plan with a Municipal Services Agreement (pending). SRFN operates under the Indian Act within RLEMP.
SRFN completed a land designation several years ago but has not yet undertaken a lease on its reserve lands. They currently lack the internal expertise within the Northwest Territories to manage this process effectively. CIRNAC/ISC has acknowledged the limitations of their technical capacity in this area and has advised them to seek guidance from NALMA to address this gap.
To support SRFN’s learning, they are seeking an opportunity for two of their staff members to shadow an experienced Leasing/Lands Manager from another First Nation. SRFN will cover all associated costs, including travel, accommodations, meals, and vehicle rental. The two staff members will observe and take notes for internal training. As a gesture of appreciation, we would also present the host Nation with a piece of local art from our traditional territory.
SRFN is prepared to sign non-disclosure agreements and will act at full discretion. They will not discuss internal office procedures or administrative matters and will engage respectfully and in good faith with the host Nation.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated by Jeff Fraser and Salt River First Nation; please contact:
