Délı̨nę

Common card · No. 425370

The Charter Community of Délı̨nę (North Slavey: [tʼe˥lĩnɛ̃]) is located in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, on the western shore of Great Bear Lake and is 544 km (338 mi) northwest of Yellowknife. Délı̨nę means "where the waters flow", a reference to the headwaters of the Great Bear River, Sahtúdé. It is the only current settlement on the shores of Great Bear Lake, as Fort Confidence was last used in the 1800s and Port Radium closed in 1982. There is no permanent road to the community and access is by Déline Airport, which is serviced by North-Wright Airways. In addition, Déline Water Aerodrome is available during the summer along with an ice road in the winter.
