| Abstract (English): |
In September 1967, the federal government transferred the Government of the Northwest Territories from Ottawa to Yellowknife. While the transfer brought the machinery of government closer to the governed, it also established settler institutions in the homelands of Dene, Métis, and Inuit peoples. Using the tools of administrative history and settler colonial theory, this article reconstructs the transfer using newly released archival papers of NWT Commissioner Stuart Hodgson, who oversaw the transfer and the development of government in the NWT until 1979. It analyzes the role federal public servants played in facilitating settler colonial development in northwestern Canada and, in turn, how that development affected the structure and work of the federal public service in Ottawa. While the transfer entrenched Westminster parliamentary government in the NWT, it also served as a focal point for Indigenous resurgence and resistance that has remade contemporary governance in the territory.

Sommaire: En septembre 1967, le gouvernement fédéral a transféré le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord‐Ouest d'Ottawa à Yellowknife. Bien que le transfert ait rapproché l'appareil gouvernemental des citoyens gouvernés, il a également établi des institutions de colonisation sur les terres natales des peuples Déné, Métis et Inuit. À l'aide des outils de l'histoire administrative et de la théorie de la colonisation, cet article reconstitue le transfert à partir de documents d'archives récemment publiés par le commissaire des T.N.‐O., Stuart Hodgson, qui a supervisé le transfert et le développement du gouvernement aux T.N.‐O. jusqu'en 1979. L'article analyse le rôle joué par les fonctionnaires fédéraux pour faciliter le développement colonial dans le nord‐ouest du Canada et en retour, quelles ont été les conséquences de ce développement sur la structure et le travail de la fonction publique fédérale à Ottawa. Bien que ce transfert ait renforcé le gouvernement parlementaire de type Westminster dans les T.N.‐O., il a également servi de point focal pour le regain et la résistance autochtones qui ont remodelé la gouvernance contemporaine dans le territoire.
