How did Yellowknife get its name Wikispaces耶洛奈夫如何得到它的名字 wiki空间.pptVIP

By: Daniel Chaldezos Yellowknife is in the Northwest Territories. Yellowknife is the capital city of the Northwest Territories. The name Yellowknife comes from the copper-wielding Chipewyan tribe which fought the Dene for many years. They actually used copper knives, that were sort of a yellow color. Now that is cool! Yellowknife did not have organized gold mining until the mid-1930’s. By 1942 it had a population of 1000 people. By 1967 Yellowknife was the capital city of the Northwest Territories. Hunting, trapping, and fishing still dominate the local economy. http://ess.nrcan.gc.ca/ipygeo
