WHAT DOES DOGRIB MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dogrib

Tłı̨chǫ

The Tłı̨chǫ /təˈlɪtʃoʊ/ people, sometimes spelled Tlicho and also known as the Dogrib, are a Dene First Nations people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group living in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The name Dogrib is an English adaptation of their own name, Tłı̨chǫ Done - “Dog-Flank People”, referring to their fabled descent from a supernatural dog-man. Like their Dene neighbours they called themselves oft simply Done or Done Do. The Tłı̨chǫ's land is known as Ndé. On the 1682 Franquelin map, Dogrib was recorded as "Alimouspgoiak". There are now six settlements with Dogrib populations or mostly of Dogrib background: Behchoko, Whatì, Gamèti, Wekweeti, Dettah, and N'Dilo. The Tłı̨chǫ Yatıı̀ or Dogrib language belongs to the Athabaskan languages, which are part of the Na-Dené languages family. The dialect spoken in the communities of Dettah and N'Dilo developed from intermarriage between Yellowknives and Tłįchǫ.
