Sayisi Dene


The Sayisi Dene, (People of the East), are Chipewyan, a Dene First Nation Aboriginal peoples of Canada group living in northern Manitoba. They are members of the "Sayisi Dene First Nation (Tadoule Lake, Manitoba)" (58°42′43″N 98°28′50″W / 58.71194°N 98.48056°W / 58.71194; -98.48056Coordinates: 58°42′43″N 98°28′50″W / 58.71194°N 98.48056°W / 58.71194; -98.48056) and are notable for living a nomadic caribou-hunting and gathering existence.

In 1956, the Sayisi Dene residing at Little Duck Lake (59°24′46.09″N 97°44′1.2″W / 59.4128028°N 97.733667°W / 59.4128028; -97.733667) in northern Manitoba were relocated to Churchill. The relocation of the Sayisi Dene is viewed as one of the most grievous errors committed by the federal government.
