In 2005, the Tłıchǫ signed the Tłıchǫ Agreement for Self-Governance.<ref>{{cite web |title=Land Claims and Self-Government Agreement Among the Tłıchǫ |url=https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/DAM/DAM-INTER-HQ/STAGING/texte-text/ccl_fagr_nwts_tliagr_tliagr_1302089608774_eng.pdf |website=Government of Canada |access-date=18 March 2018 |archive-date=22 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180322203716/https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/DAM/DAM-INTER-HQ/STAGING/texte-text/ccl_fagr_nwts_tliagr_tliagr_1302089608774_eng.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> This allowed the Tłıchǫ people to prioritize the preservation of their language, culture and way of life. Since its implementation, the Tłıchǫ Government has been working hard to help younger generations of Tłıchǫ learn the language by declaring Tłıchǫ Yatıì as one of two official languages of the Tłıchǫ Government. Revitalization efforts include putting up signs in Tłıchǫ Yatıì, creating on the land programs, providing Tłıchǫ Yatıì classes for community members.<ref name="Tłıchǫ Government Policy and Procedures">{{cite web|title=Tłıchǫ Government Administrative Policy and Procedures|url=https://www.tlicho.ca/sites/default/files/documents/government/20180101TEOPolicy.pdf|website=Tłıchǫ Government|access-date=18 March 2018|archive-date=15 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180215232318/https://www.tlicho.ca/sites/default/files/documents/government/20180101TEOPolicy.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Tłı̨chǫ Yatıì is one of the nine official Indigenous languages of the [[Northwest Territories]] (NWT) in Canada. Because of its official status, the NWT's department of Education, Culture, and Employment, has been monitoring the language through the Indigenous Languages and Education Secretariat since 2014. This department is devoted to the revitalization of the official languages in the NWT and has policies that ensure the continued use and growth of Indigenous languages.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Indigenous Languages and Education Secretariat|url=https://www.ece.gov.nt.ca/en/services/ILES|last=Education|first=Culture and Employment|website=www.ece.gov.nt.ca|language=en|access-date=2020-05-26}}</ref> According to the 2018 - 2019 Annual Report on Official Languages, multiple revitalization efforts have been made by the Tłı̨chǫ Government.<ref name=":02">{{Cite web|title=2018 - 2019 Annual Report on Official Languages|url=https://www.ece.gov.nt.ca/sites/ece/files/resources/3550_gnwt_ece_official-languages-annual-report-english-web.pdf|website=Government of the Northwest Territories}}</ref> Some of which include an Elder Evening Story Telling that occurs weekly, transcribing and translating materials into Tłı̨chǫ Yatıì for classes, setting up a radio station, and having community language classes in the language, now including immersion classes in grades K-7. In addition to local efforts, the Official Languages Act ensures that Tłı̨chǫ Yatıì and the other indigenous languages are used in providing government services.<ref name=":02" />
