Slavey language:
Liidlii Kue "place where rivers come together") is a
village in the
Dehcho Region of the
Northwest Territories,
Canada. The community is located on an island at the confluence of the
Mackenzie and
Liard Rivers. Both rivers were traditionally
trade routes for the
Hudson's Bay Company and the native
Dene people of the area.
Population is 1,216 according to the
2006 Census, up over 4 percent from the 2001 census (1,163).
The other festival is the "Open Sky Festival" which is held annually on or around the July 1st long weekend ("Canada Day"). The Open Sky Festival is a multi-disciplinary arts festival which has occurred annually since 2001. Festival events include musical, theatrical, & other performances as well as traditional Dehcho Dene Crafts, visual arts, & new media exhibitions, workshops, & demonstrations. The Open Sky festival is hosted by the Open Sky Creative Society, a multi-disciplinary arts organization serving artists working in the Dehcho region.
The
Dene of the community are represented by the
Liidli Kue First Nation and the
Métis by
Fort Simpson Metis Local 52. Both groups belong to the
Dehcho First Nations.
