"The Dehcho Land Use Planning Committee will develop a
land use plan as a management tool to determine what type of land
use activities should occur and where they should take place. This
plan will balance economic, social, environmental and cultural needs
and interests."
"This plan will be guided by the principles of sustainable
development and respect for the land as understood and explained
by the Dehcho elders."

The
logo design was initiated by the Committee Chair, Herb Norwegian
and modified through input from other Committee members. The final
design was reached by consensus and adopted by all Committee members.
Each piece of the logo has special significance to the Dehcho:
- The 14 poles
of the teepee represent the 14 aboriginal organizations;
- The fire
represents the relationship between the land and the people;
- The fire
logs represent the four directions;
- Green represents
land;
- Blue represents
water;
- Red represents
fire;
- Yellow represents
the sun; and
- White represents
the wind.
