		Kakfwi’s call was echoed by Prince Edward Island Premier Pat Binns who invited his colleagues to a cutting and polishing demonstration of NWT rough diamonds at Norton Jewelers in downtown Charlottetown.

		In Alberta this week for meetings with the energy industry, Kakfwi said Aug. 28 that executives of the gas-producing companies are becoming worried that a decision on transferring control of northern resources to northerners has become bogged down.

		He said some smaller Native communities have withdrawn from an agreement that established the terms of an aboriginal equity stake in a pipeline and the holdout Deh Cho First Nation, whose lands affect about half of the pipeline route, is still withholding its signature.

	U.S. Alaska gas pipeline subsidies beg for softwood war retaliation, Stephen Hume, Vancouver Sun, May 7, 2002
		Well, Stephen Kakfwi, the premier of the Northwest Territories, suggests that his fellow premiers and Ottawa stop behaving like a bunch of hand-wringing wusses and do something dramatic to get the Americans' attention.
		But Kakfwi points out that by adopting precisely the same argument the Americans use to justify their huge duties on softwood lumber, Canadians -- in particular British Columbians -- can justifiably apply countervailing duties to that soon-to-be subsidized Alaska natural gas.
		These days Kakfwi is at the forefront of those who want to build a pipeline down the same Mackenzie Valley route he once opposed.

	WWF Canada - News - Stephen Kakfwi Praises Protected Areas Strategy
		Former Northwest Territories Premier Stephen Kakfwi today released a report on his review of the Northwest Territories Protected Areas Strategy (NWT-PAS), praising its use as a tool for communities in the north to find an effective long-term balance between the benefits of economic development, and the protection of culturally and environmentally significant lands.
		Kakfwi cites several examples of where the PAS has been successfully applied to advance Aboriginal priorities with respect to economic development AND protection of land.
		“When Stephen says in the report that PAS partners should lobby and promote responsible economic development within a sound environmental management framework in the NWT, he is speaking on behalf of northerners,” points out Bill Carpenter, WWF’s Regional Conservation Director in the NWT.
