In January 2019, the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) and GNWT submitted the Joint Proposal on Management Actions for the Bluenose-East Ɂekwǫ̀ (Barren-ground caribou) Herd 2019-2021 to the Board, outlining proposed management actions for the Sahtì ekwǫ̀ herd in Wek’èezhìı. The management actions proposed by TG and GNWT in the Joint Proposal were grouped under the five categories: harvest, predators, habitat and land use, and education as well as research and monitoring. More specifically, TG and ENR proposed implementing a herd-wide total allowable harvest of 300 bulls only for the Sahtì ekwǫ̀ herd. The WRRB has determined that any specific numerical restriction of a harvest or a component of harvest constitutes a total allowable harvest (TAH). A proposal for a TAH requires a public hearing under Section 12.3.10 of the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement. The WRRB held a public hearing in Behchokǫ̀, NT on April 9-11, 2019.
