The remaining three regions were essentially left as is until the remaining land claims have been settled.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The North Slave Regional Boundary was to approximate what is estimated to be the Tlicho boundary, while the boundary between the Deh Cho and South Slave is the old federal boundary. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>In 2009, the community of Lutselk'e was added to the North Slave Administrative Region with the actual boundary to be determined later. In 2010 a boundary along the 62° W parallel of latitude from the Nunavut boundary was agreed to by ENR and Lutselk'e. In February of 2011, it was agreed by ENR DM and ADM-Operations that the western boundary of the 62° line would cross the islands at the bottom of the East Arm of Great Slave Lake and join the existing bounday at 113° W longitude </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The boundaries used for all but that between the Deh Cho and South Slave are from the Wildlife Management Units dataset.
