Hay River Reserve (also known as K'atlodeeche/Katl'odeeche First Nation or Hay River Dene 1〔) is one of only two Indian reserves〔(Public Works and Government Services Canada )〕 in Canada's Northwest Territories. Located in the South Slave Region, it is a Slavey community with a population of 292 (of which the majority are First Nations) at the 2011 census.〔(Hay River Dene 1, IRI Northwest Territories (Census subdivision) )〕〔(2006 Aboriginal Population Profile )〕 The main languages on the reserve are South Slavey, Chipewyan, and English. In 2012 the Government of the Northwest Territories reported that the population was 341.〔 The reserve covers an area of and claims a band membership of 600 people.〔(Katlodeeche First Nation Reserve )〕 The reserve is governed by a Band Council, consisting of a Chief and four Counselors, who are elected every two years on "Treaty Day". Along with the Fort Providence Dene Band the reserve operates "Evergreen Forestry Management Ltd."〔(Indian and Northern Affairs Canada )〕 The reserve also runs the Ehdah Cho Store,〔 "Tu-Cho Gha Contracting",〔(NWT Aboriginal Directory - South Slave Region )〕 and the "Nats’jee Keh Treatment Centre". Primary and secondary education in the community is provided by Chief Sunrise Education Centre.〔http://www.ssdec.nt.ca/schools/Chief_Sunrise.htm〕 == History == Although the Dene had been using the area around the mouth of the Hay River for many years as a fishing site it was not settled until the 1890s when Chief Chiatlo led a group to the site. Later both the Anglican, with a mission school, and the Roman Catholic Church along with trading posts and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrived.〔(History - Katl'odeeche (Hay River Dene Reserve) )〕 However, the NWT Government says that the first building in the area was the Hudson's Bay Company, followed by the Roman Catholic Mission, and then the Anglican Mission.〔(NWT Bureau of Statistics )〕 The original site was located right at the mouth of the river just east of Vale Island at 〔(Map of Vale Island )〕 However, this site was subject to flooding and it was decided to move to a different area. The current site is located on the south shore of the Hay River, near the mouth of Great Slave Lake〔(Map of the area )〕 In 1974 the then chief, Daniel Sonfrere, negotiated a settlement with the Government of Canada and the first reserve in the NWT was formed.〔 The site of the original mission buildings, including St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Ste. Anne’s Roman Catholic Church, the remains of a rectory, and associated cemeteries, was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1992, due to its association with the meeting of Dene and European cultures. 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「Hay River Reserve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
