The Elders Council will also provide advice on traditional knowledge, cultural and spiritual values. The Elders Council will operate as an advisory council and through its collective wisdom and knowledge it will reinforce the vision an mission statement of Dene Nation. The decisive step to create an Elders Council was taken in June 2000 at the Leadership meeting in Aklavik. A motion was passed supporting an Elders Gathering, which then took place at Tulit'a in March 2002. At the 32nd Dene National Assembly at Liidlii Kue in July 2002, the establishment of the Elders Council was included in the amended Dene Nation Constitution and By-laws. The Elders had provided invaluable information at past meetings regarding traditional and cultural issues of the Dene people.

In order to document and use their wisdom and traditional knowledge, the Elders Council is created pursuant to Section 5 Sub-section 1 l(f) of the amended Dene Nation Constitution and By-laws.
