| Description |
Situated in the southwest corner of the territory, Nahendeh embraces the confluence of the mighty Mackenzie and Liard rivers, as well as Nahanni National Park and the pristine mountains along the Yukon border. The proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline would cut directly through this district.
The old trading post of Fort Simpson (pop. 1,216) is the district's major centre, with a population about two-thirds South Slavey. The community is a government, tourism and transportation hub, with a busy airport and a road linking it to Yellowknife. Near the British Columbia border, lush Fort Liard (pop. 583) has become a centre for logging and gas exploration. Other communities in the district are the road-accessible South Slavey villages of Wrigley (pop. 122) and Jean Marie River (pop. 81), and the isolated Trout Lake (pop. 86) and Nahanni Butte (pop. 115).
