SlaveyThe Slavey (comprising two groups, North and South Slavey) are a First Nations group indigenous to the Great Slave Lake region, in Canada's Northwest Territories. Their language is considered to be a part of the Athabaskan language group (part of the larger Na-Den family) and can be written using Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics or the Roman alphabet. Slavey was the native language spoken by the fictional band in the Canadian television series, North of 60. Nick Sibbeston, a former Premier of the Northwest Territories, was a Slavey-language and cultural consultant for the show.
