The Dogrib Nation is planning to finance, build and own two hydroelectric dams in their region of the vast Northwest Territories to supply power to communities around the Great Slave Lake.

In a $115 million deal, the Treaty 11 Dogrib Council, consisting of 2,300 members in five communities, will build a $35 million, 4.3-megawatt dam at Snare Cascades on the Snare River. The dam is scheduled for completion in 1996 and will be located between two existing dams on the river. The second, an $80 million 20-megawatt dam, will be built on the Lac La Martre River.
