Usage notes

Many of the Slavey people consider this term derogatory, as it originated from their enemies, and derived from slave. There is no specific term for this grouping in Dene (Athabaskan), the individual Slavey groups each have their own terms for each group of people and their neighbours. The language is also divided into North Slavey and South Slavey and not identified as a unit in Dene.
