About Dënësułınë

Some Métis families lived and intermarried in northern regions where Dene was spoken. As a result, a number of Métis people historically spoke Dene, often alongside other Indigenous and European languages. While not as widespread as Cree or French among the Métis, Dene still represents an important strand of Métis multilingual identity, especially in communities with close ties to Dene Nations.
