It looks like Canada will have a new Territory carved out of the
Northwest Territory. The Dogrib Tribe has negotiated an agreement with
the Canadian Government which recognizes the tribes control of a
15,000 square mile area in the middle of the Northwest Territory. The
agreement is similar to the one with the Inuit that setup the Nunavut
Territory. The map in the article indicates that the new Territory
will be totally enclaved in the Northwest Territory - so no new
tripoints.
