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.[1] The name, which is also the source for the later community of Yellowknife, derives from the colour of the tools made from copper deposits.
