Redirected from Yellowknife
The city is located on the shore of Great Slave Lake[?], at the mouth of the Yellowknife River[?]; its name derives from the copper knives used by the local Chipewyans. The current population is ethnically mixed, and the territory government lists five languages as spoken in significant numbers: Chipewyan[?], Dogrib[?], South[?] and North Slavey[?], English, and French.
