Since 2002, the Review Board has held five terminology workshops for the Mackenzie Valley aboriginal languages of Chipewyan, Gwich’in, North Slavey, South Slavey and Tlicho. As an outcome of these workshops, the Review Board has produced a Glossary of Terms for each language.

The glossaries provide translations of terminology for the biophysical environment, the oil and gas industry, the mining industry, the human environment and the resource management system.

In this new edition of the Glossary of Terms, the layout has been changed to have one language per publication. In addition, many of the English definitions were simplified to make them easier to understand.

Please visit the Reference Library in the Review Board Initiatives section to download a glossary in the language of your choice.
