Over the past decade the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation has directed the evolution of its Land Settlement Compensation dollar investment program while gaining vital experience in the stewardship and management of capital assets.
In late 2002 the First Nation created an Advisory Committee comprised of leadership, citizens and professional advisors to assess the implications of creating an investment trust for the Compensation assets.
In October 2003 a Special General Assembly of VG citizens approved the draft Trust Deed subject to securing approval from tax authorities.
In May of 2004, the First Nation received positive feedback from tax advisors and from federal tax authorities.
On May 21st, 2004, anticipating the imminent creation of the VG Trust, Chief and Council appointed five Trustees to oversee Trust operations effective July 1, 2004.
