The Chipewyan live in the Arctic regions around Hudson Bay, including Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The group also inhabits northern parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They were among those first nations who call themselves Dene ("people").
The Chipewyan language is part of the Athabaskan linguistic group.
Despite the superficial similarity of the names, the Chipewyan are not related to the Chippewa or Ojibwa.
