Wekweeti
Wekweètì (from the Dogrib language meaning "rock lakes"), officially the Tlicho Community Government of Wekweètì〔(Differences in Community Government Structures )〕 is a community in the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Wekweètì is a Tłı̨chǫ (Dogrib Dene) aboriginal community and is located north of Yellowknife. It has no year-round road access but does have a winter ice road connection; the majority of transportation to and from the community is through the Wekweètì Airport. Wekweètì is the closest community to the Ekati Diamond Mine on the border with Nunavut. Wekweètì is part of the Tlicho Government.〔(Wekweètì ) at the Tlicho Government website〕
==History==
The area is within the traditional territory of the Tłı̨chǫ (Dogrib) First Nation and was a popular hunting camp prior to permanent settlement. In the 1960s, Dene elders around Behchoko decided to return to the land and establish traditional camps in the bush. Wekweètì was established during this time, although in more recent years it too has become a modern community with essential services of its own. The community was formerly known as ''Snare Lake'' until 1 November 1998; prior to 4 August 2005 the community name used the spelling ''Wekweti''.
