Thlingchadinne Indians
of Canada
Thlingchadinne, signifying
"dog-flank people." Also called:
Atticmospicayes or Attimospiquaies, by La Potherie, and said to mean
"dog-ribs."
Dog Ribs, popular English name from their own designation.
Flancs-de-Chien or Plats-Côtes-de-Chien, French name derived from
their own designation.
Lintcanre, nickname applied by their congeners.
Connections. The Thlingchadinne belonged to the Athapascan
linguistic stock.
Location. Between Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake but
not extending to the Mackenzie River.
Subdivisions
Petitot (1891) gives the following divisions:
Lintchanre, north and east of the northern arm of Great Slave Lake.
Takfwelottine, southeast of Great Bear Lake and at the source of
Coppermine River.
Tsantieottine, on La Martre Lake and River.
Tseottine, along the south shore of Great Bear Lake.
History. The name of the Thlingchadinne appears as early as
1744. It is said that they were gradually forced northwest by the
Cree but it is probable that this was true of only a part of them,
the greater portion having occupied approximately the same
territories. Their later history is bound up with that of the
Hudson's Bay Company, the purveyors of European civilization to most
of the Indians of northwestern Canada.
Population. Mooney (1928) estimated that in 1670 there were
1,250 Indians of this tribe. In 1858 Ross (1858) gave their total
population as 926. Morice (1906) estimated 1,150.
