The NWT Bureau of Statistics provides community profiles for all NWT communities. Read about language use, harvesting and arts data, housing and employment, and other items. 

Some of the most consistent, publicly available, methodically gathered statistics on language use in the Sahtú come out of the GNWT Bureau of Statistics community surveys. The community surveys are done every 2 or 3 years, in between census cycles, and the questions on them have remained constant so as to be comparable throughout time. Only two questions have been added or changed since the first survey (one on berry harvesting, one on arts and crafts). Workers conduct person-to-person interviews in all official languages, done in winter months so that people will be home instead of on the land.
