THE ETCHATTINE INDIANS BELONGED TO THE ATHAPASKAN LANGUAGE STOCK THEY LIVED IN THE VALLEY OF MAKENZIE. THE ATHAPASKANS LIVED IN THE VALLEY OF MACKENZIE RIVER. IN ANCIENT TIMES THEY LIVED IN AS FAR SOUTH AS LAKE ATHABASKA. THE CREE HAD GUNS AND DROVE THEM OUT OF THAT REGION. BY EARLY 18OO'S TRADING POSTS WERE WERE BUILT. THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY AND MISSIONAIRIES CHANGED THESE TRIBES. IN 1670'S THEY HAD A POPULATION OF ABOUT 1200. THE CREE WERE ALWAYS MORE DOMINANT THAN THEM.
