The Tłı̨chǫ (IPA: [tɬʰĩtʃʰõ], English pronunciation: /təˈlɪtʃoʊ/) people, sometimes spelled Tlicho and also known as the Dogrib, are a Dene First Nations people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group living in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The name Dogrib is an English adaptation of their own name, Tłı̨chǫ Done (or Thlingchadinne) - “Dog-Flank People”, referring to their fabled descent from a supernatural dog-man. Like their Dene neighbours they called themselves oft simply Done ("person", "human") or Done Do ("People, i.e. Dene People"). The Tłı̨chǫ's land is known as Ndé (or Dé, Né). On the 1682 Franquelin map, Dogrib was recorded as "Alimousp[i]goiak" (from Cree Alimospikayak, "Dog-Flanks").
There are now six settlements with Dogrib populations or mostly of Dogrib background: Behchoko (formerly Rae-Edzo), Whatì (Lac la Martre), Gamèti (Rae Lakes), Wekweeti (Snare Lake), Dettah, and N'Dilo (a subcommunity of Yellowknife, known by the Tłįchǫ as Somba K'e – "where the money is").
i don't understand the wierd moods or my fear of
dancingall i can say is we all know the routine
it's past time to come clean
let's just have some fun
it's only a matter of time
we've had a tough year with the long trips and the
graduations
all we can do is eat all the bad food
practice how to be rude
and have some fun
it's only a matter of time
before everything turns out
alright
someday we'll own the beach house and the motor homes
for now we can dine at the cheapest restaurants
frequent the old haunts
and have some fun
it's only a matter of time
before everything turns out
