Yellowknife is the capital and the largest community in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It is located on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake, about 400 km south of the Arctic Circle, on the west side of Yellowknife Bay near the outlet of the Yellowknife River.
The name “Yellowknife” comes from a local Dene tribe, known as the “Copper Indians” or “Yellowknife Indians”, who are now incorporated as the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. These indigenous people traded TOOLS made from COPPER deposits near the Arctic Coast. The term ‘YELLOWKNIFE’ was coined by European explorers and cartographers over 200 years ago in honor of the Indigenous Dene that they met in the 1700s. The Europeans named the nearby river and the city after the copper tools the Dene carried.
