A member of an Indigenous people of northern Canada and Alaska, or the language they speak.
From Cree 'chipewyan' or similar Algonquian roots meaning 'those who wear pointed skins' or 'those pointed at,' referring to their distinctive clothing and appearance as observed by neighboring tribes.
The Dene Chipewyan people have lived in the harsh Canadian subarctic for thousands of years, developing incredible survival skills and one of the most complex languages in North America—their traditional territory is one of the last truly wild places on Earth.
