Welcome to the Hamlet of Tulita

Community Organizations

Church and Worship

Organized religion continues to plays an important role in the lives of many of Tulita’s residents. In earlier years, those of the Anglican faith worshiped in a log church building, now one of the oldest standing buildings in the Northwest Territories and located in the historic centre of Tulita. Today, two organized religious groups exist in the Hamlet – Roman Catholic and Pentecostal. Worship services are normally held each Sunday and on special occasions throughout the year.

The Tulita Dene First Nation Band

The Tulita Dene First Nation Band is governed by an elected Council consisting of a Band Chief and six Band Councillors. Elections are held every four years. The Band Council represents all Dene living in Tulita and reaches out to the community in numerous ways. Many indigenous cultural events and broader community activities are organized. Support is provided to elders and others in need of assistance. Band representatives participate in community partnership activities for which leadership is provided. Among initiatives currently underway is a search for funding partners that will result in development of a Healing Lodge facility in Tulita.
