The Yellowknives, Yellow Knives, Copper Indians, Red Knives or '''T'atsaot'ine' (Wíílíídeh dialect: Tetsǫ́t'ınę) are Indigenous peoples of Canada, one of the five main groups of the First Nations Dene who live in the Northwest Territories. The name, which is also the source for the later community of Yellowknife, derives from the colour of the tools made from copper deposits.
==History== The historic Yellowknive tribe lived north and northeast of the Great Slave Lake (Tinde'e – "Great Lake") around the Yellowknife River and Yellowknife Bay (Wíílíídeh cho – "Inconnu River") and northward along the Coppermine River, northeast to the Back River (Thlewechodyeth or Thlew-ee-choh-desseth'' – "Great Fish River") and east to the Thelon River. They used the major rivers of their traditional land as routes for travel and trade as far east as Hudson Bay, where early European explorers such as Samuel Hearne encountered them in the 1770s.
