Scenarios about 'Dene Nation'
The Dene Nation represents the political organization and collective identity of the Dene people, indigenous inhabitants of the northwestern regions of North America, particularly in present-day Northwest Territories, Canada. Historically, the Dene have maintained distinct cultural practices, languages, and traditional knowledge systems while navigating colonial encounters and resource development on their ancestral lands.
