KeTe Whii Limited was created to realize and maximize the benefits contained in the respective agreements between the signatory First Nations (the Dogrib, the Yellowknife Dene, and the Lutsel K'e Dene) and the resource developers operating on and near their traditional and current land use area. Procon, a Canadian mining contractor working in the area, saw the benefits of working with such a unified group and together they formed the KeTe Whii / Procon Joint Venture.
