North Slave Region

The North Slave Region covers a substantial portion of Northwest Territories, featuring lakes, forests, and Canadian Shield landscapes across its northern territory.

This region formed its current administrative structure in the 20th century, developing from traditional territories of Dene, Inuit, and Métis communities.

The eight communities within North Slave Region maintain strong Indigenous traditions through languages, ceremonies, and traditional activities passed through generations.

The region connects its communities through Highways 3 and 4, with Yellowknife functioning as the primary administrative and service center.

Diamond mining operations in North Slave Region have transformed local economic patterns while maintaining respect for Indigenous land management practices.
