Dettah or Detah is a First Nations community in the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. Located just outside the capital of Yellowknife, it is a 6.5 km drive from that town by ice road in winter or a 27 km drive via the Ingraham Trail. The name means 'Burnt Point' in the Tli Cho language, and refers to a traditional fishing camp, used by the Dene for hundreds of years. N'Dilo is a First Nations community in the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The small Dene community is located on the edge of Yellowknife on the tip of Latham Island. Both it and N'Dilo are the communities of the Yellowknives. Dettah and N'Dilo are represented by the Yellowknives Dene First Nation (Dettah) and are part of the Akaitcho Territory Government.
