YELLOWKNIVES

The 'Yellowknives', 'Yellow Knives', 'Copper Indians', 'Red Knives' or 'T'atsaot'ine' are one of the five main groups of the Dene First Nation that live in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The name, which is also the source for the later community of Yellowknife, derives from the colour of the tools made from local copper deposits.
They are now absorbed into the Chipewyan people. Previously they lived north of the Great Slave Lake.
