Hay River Reserve (also known as Kʼatlodeeche/Katlʼodeeche[pronunciation?] First Nation or Hay River Dene 1[7]) is one of only two Indian reserves[8] in Canada's Northwest Territories. Located in the South Slave Region, it is a Slavey community with a population of 259, of which the majority are First Nations and some Métis, at the 2021 Canadian census, a 16.2% decrease from the 2016 census.[2] The main languages on the reserve are South Slavey, and English.[7] In 2017 the Government of the Northwest Territories reported that the population was 329, resulting in an average annual growth rate of 0.4% between 2007 and 2017.[6]
The reserve covers an area of 13,517.4 ha (33,402 acres)[9] and claims a band membership of 668 people.[10] The reserve is governed by a Band Council, consisting of a Chief and four Counsellors, who are elected every two years on "Treaty Day". Along with the Fort Providence Dene Band the reserve operates "Evergreen Forestry Management Ltd."[11] The reserve also runs the Ehdah Cho Store,[8] "Tu-Cho Gha Contracting",[12] and the "Nats’jee Keh Treatment Centre".
Primary and secondary education in the community is provided by Chief Sunrise Education Centre.[13]
