Hay River Reserve is the only Indian reserve in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Located in the South Slave Region, it is a Slavey community with a population of 309 (97.1% First Nations) as of the 2006 census. The main languages on the reserve are South Slavey, Chipewyan and English. In 2009 the Government of the Northwest Territories reported that the population was 325 with an average yearly growth rate of 1.6 from 1996.
Although the Dene had been using the area around the mouth of the Hay River for many years as a fishing site it was not settled until the 1890s when Chief Chiatlo led a group to the site. Later both the Anglican, with a mission school, and the Roman Catholic Church along with trading posts and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrived.
