Saoyú-ʔehdacho: Sahtú teaching landscapes and living law

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The cooperative heritage account presents the peninsulas as places of teaching, healing and responsibility, not an empty natural backdrop. The 2016 plan explains a consensus-based relationship between community bodies and Parks Canada; it is a modern agreement, not an ancient constitution.

Living cultural landscape and oral-history context Community histories without imposed archaeological founding date; modern stewardship separately dated Public community statements, oral-transmission history and cooperative heritage records Délı̨nę, Northwest Territories, Canada (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, harvesting or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, harvesting or travel permission is implied.

Organisation politique et échelle communautaire

Transformation ultérieure, patrimoine vivant et réception moderne

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Sahtú language and oral transmission have their own contexts; translation into English does not transfer cultural authority. Later research, colonial and stewardship events are dated separately from the principal archaeological contexts.

Land and teaching The cooperative heritage account presents the peninsulas as places of teaching, healing and responsibility, not an empty natural backdrop.
