Délı̨nę, Indigenous territorial hamlet in Northwest Territories, Canada.

The settlement of Délı̨nę stands on the western shore of Great Bear Lake, at an elevation of 214 meters above sea level.

The Hudson's Bay Company established an outpost in 1825, which served as winter quarters for Sir John Franklin's Arctic expedition team.

The name Délı̨nę translates to 'where the waters flow' in the language of the Sahtu Dene people who maintain their traditions in this region.

Visitors reach Délı̨nę through charter flights from larger cities in the Northwest Territories, with seasonal transportation methods varying throughout the year.

The settlement holds the distinction of being the only permanent community on the shores of Great Bear Lake, the fourth largest lake in North America.

Location: Region 2, Northwest Territories
