Nota de aplicación

The culture and style of an Athabascan-speaking tribe of Canada's north country. The name "Slave" is the translation of a Cree term, since these traditional enemies sometimes raided and enslaved them. Another name for them "Etchao-tine," is Chipewyan for "people dwelling in the shelter, or by willows." The Slavey historically occupy territory west of the Great Slave Lake and Mackenzie River in Canada's present-day Northwest Territories, Alberta, and British Columbia.
