Thaydene Nene National Park (proposed)
Thaydene Nene National Park (from Dene, meaning ''land of our ancestors''; also East Arm of Great Slave Lake) is a proposed national park located on the northern edge of the boreal forest in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It covers an area of approximately .
The area is subject to an ''interim land withdrawal'' until 2012, by which "no new mining claims or oil and gas rights will be issued for the area". However, existing industrial and commercial activities will be allowed to continue, as will the construction of any facility associated with Talstom Dam.〔 Designation as a national park would prevent the expansion of uranium and diamond mines located just north of the park's boundaries,〔 and protects caribou and pelt animals such as "lynx, wolf, red fox, wolverine, martin, moose and black bear".〔 It features red granite cliffs, as well as "a spectacular array of peninsulas, canyons and waterfalls as the forests give way to northern tundra". Various migratory bird species also stage and nest in the area, including ducks and songbirds.
==History==
Consideration for the creation a national park in the region was withdrawn in 1970 under the Territorial Lands Act, but in 2001 the Lutsel K’e (previously ''Snowdrift'') Dene First Nations band re-considered the proposal. Consultations for a feasibility study proceeded from 2002 to 2004, which drew the inclusion of the Métis Nation in the process. By 2005, the Lutsel K’e produced a Band Council Resolution ''"supporting consideration of a national park as part of a broader protection initiative for their traditional territory"'', in cooperation with other Akaitcho First Nations. In 2006, the Environment Minister Rona Ambrose signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Lutsel K’e which expanded the area for consideration for the national park.〔 〕 Originally expected to be designated in 2009, the approval was fast-tracked by the federal government, which allocated $3 million for a final feasibility study for the areas to be protected by the national park, and a further of adjacent land.
