The Chipewyan (''Denésoliné'' or ''Dënesųłiné'' – "People of the barrens")〔(ATHABASCA DENESULINÉ INQUIRY )〕 are an aboriginal Dene people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group, whose ancestors were the peoples who left the archaeological traces of the Taltheilei Shale Tradition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/anthropology/manarchnet/chronology/taltheilei/index.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archeological Traditions )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Denesuline (Dene) )〕 They are part of the Northern Athabascan group of peoples. They were located generally in Western Canada. The French-speaking missionaries to the northwest of the Red River Colony referred to the Chipewyan people as Montagnais in their documents written in French. Montagnais (in French) therefore has often been mistakenly translated to Montagnais (in English), which refers to the Innu of northern Quebec, and not the Dene (Chipewyan people). ==Demographics== Chipewyan peoples live in the region spanning the western Canadian Shield to the Northwest Territories and including part of northern parts of the provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The following list of First Nations band governments had in March 2013 a total registered membership of 22,754, with 10,938 in Saskatchewan, 6,371 in Alberta, 2,871 in Manitoba and 2,574 in the Northwest Territories. All had Denesuline populations; however, several had a combination of Cree and Denesuline members (see the Barren Lands First Nation in Manitoba and the Fort McMurray First Nation in Alberta). There are also many Dene (Denesuline)-speaking Métis communities located throughout the region. The Saskatchewan village of La Loche, for example, had 2300 residents who in the 2011 census identified as speaking Dene (Denesuline) as their native language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/dp-pd/prof/index.cfm?Lang=E )〕 About 1800 of the residents were Métis and about 600 were members of the Clearwater River Dene Nation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/prof/92-594/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CSD&Code1=4718074&Geo2=PR&Code2=47&Data=Count&SearchText=La%20Loche&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=01&B1=All&GeoLevel=PR&GeoCode=4718074 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chipewyan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
