Wrigley Dene Band : research report / by Laureen Nayally, principal researcher, and Stella Pellissey, assistant researcher.: Z1-1991/1-41-92E-PDF
“The community of Wrigley - or Pehzdeh Ki in the Slavey Dene language, meaning 'shale rock house' or 'a house (trading post) by the big rock' - has joined with the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples to study self-government and its meaning for the people of Wrigley. The project revealed that the majority felt that the Indian Act and Canadian laws are not appropriate for a Dene form of self-government. The present justice system is considered inadequate and biased, as it doesn't consider the Dene ideals in regard to culture, language and beliefs. The traditional justice system, combined with related aspects of the present system, was favoured as appropriate for building a Dene procedure of justice and law"--p. [7, 8].
