The lake shares its name with the [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] peoples of the [[Dene]] family called [[Slavey]] by their enemies the [[Cree]]. Towns situated on the lake include (clockwise from east) [[Łutselk'e]], [[Fort Resolution]], [[Hay River, Northwest Territories|Hay River]], [[Hay River Reserve]], [[Behchokǫ̀]], [[Yellowknife]], [[Ndilǫ]], and [[Dettah]]. The only community in the East Arm is Łutselk'e, a hamlet of about 350 people, largely [[Chipewyan]] Indigenous peoples of the Dene Nation, and the abandoned winter camp and [[Hudson's Bay Company]] post [[Fort Reliance, Northwest Territories|Fort Reliance]]. Along the south shore, east of Hay River is the abandoned [[Pine Point Mine]] and the company town of [[Pine Point, Northwest Territories|Pine Point]].

==History==
[[Indigenous peoples in Canada|Indigenous peoples]] were the first settlers around the lake after the retreat of glacial ice. Archaeological evidence has revealed several different periods of cultural history, including the [[Northern Plano tradition]] (8,000 years before present), [[Shield Archaic tradition]] (6,500 years), [[Arctic small tool tradition]] (3,500 years), and the [[Taltheilei Shale tradition]] (2,500 years before present). Each culture has left a distinct mark in the archaeological record based on type or size of [[Stone tool|lithic]] tools.<ref>W.C. Noble (1981) "Prehistory of the Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake Region," In: Handbook of the North American Indians - Subarctic, Volume Six. Smithsonian Institution.</ref>

Great Slave Lake was put on European maps during the emergence of the [[fur trade]] towards the northwest from [[Hudson Bay]] in the mid 18th century. The name 'Great Slave' came from the English-language translation of the [[Cree]] [[Endonym and exonym|exonym]], ''Awokanek'' ([[Slavey]]), which they called the Dene Tha. The Slavey people were [[Dene]] tribes living on the lake's southern shores at that time.<ref>Waldman, Carl (2006).

In the 1930s, [[gold]] was discovered on the North Arm of Great Slave Lake. This discovery led to the establishment of Yellowknife, which would become the [[History of Northwest Territories capital cities|capital of the NWT]]. In 1960, an all-season highway was built around the west side of the lake; the highway was originally an extension of the [[Mackenzie Highway]], but became known as [[Yellowknife Highway]] or Highway 3.{{cn|date=December 2024}} 

On 24 January 1978, a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[US-A|Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite]] named [[Kosmos 954]], which contained an onboard [[nuclear reactor]], fell from orbit and disintegrated. Pieces of the nuclear core fell in the vicinity of Great Slave Lake. Some of the nuclear debris was recovered by a joint [[Canadian Armed Forces]] and [[United States Armed Forces]] military operation called Operation Morning Light.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/gamma/ml_e.php|title=Operation Morning Light|author=Quentin Bristow |publisher=[[Natural Resources Canada]] |access-date=24 January 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716023825/http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/gamma/ml_e.php|archive-date=16 July 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Suggested renaming===
In the late 2010s, many placenames within the Northwest Territories were restored to their indigenous names. It has been suggested--particularly because of the mention of slavery--that the lake be renamed as well. "Great Slave Lake is actually a very terrible name, unless you're a proponent of slavery," says Dëneze Nakehk'o, a Northwest Territories educator and founding member of [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] organization Dene Nahjo.<ref name="Up Here story">{{cite magazine|last=Cohen|first=Sidney|title=Big Lake|url=https://www.uphere.ca/articles/big-lake|magazine=[[Up Here (magazine)|Up Here]]|date=September–October 2020|volume=36|issue=5|access-date=11 November 2020}}</ref> "It's a beautiful place. It's majestic; it's huge. And I don't really think the current name on the map is fitting for that place." He has suggested Tu Nedhé, the [[Chipewyan language|Dene Soline]] name for the lake, as an alternative.<ref name="CBC renaming story">{{cite news|last=Mandeville|first=Curtis|title=Goodbye Great Slave Lake?

==Geography and natural history==
[[File:Mackenzie River drainage basin.PNG|thumb|left|[[Mackenzie River]] drainage basin showing Great Slave Lake's position in the Western Canadian Arctic]]
The [[Hay River (Canada)|Hay]], [[Slave River|Slave]] (which in turn includes the [[Peace River|Peace]]), [[Lockhart River (Northwest Territories)|Lockhart]], and [[Taltson River]]s are its chief tributaries. It is drained by the [[Mackenzie River]]. Though the western shore is forested, the east shore and northern arm are [[tundra]]-like. The southern and eastern shores reach the edge of the [[Canadian Shield]]. Along with other lakes such as the Great Bear and [[Lake Athabasca|Athabasca]], it is a remnant of the vast [[Proglacial lake|glacial]] [[Lake McConnell]].

The lake has a very irregular shoreline. The East Arm of Great Slave Lake is filled with islands, and the area is within the proposed [[Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve (proposed)|Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve]]. The Pethei Peninsula separates the East Arm into McLeod Bay in the north and Christie Bay in the south. The lake is at least partially frozen during an average of eight months of the year.

The main western portion of the lake forms a moderately deep bowl with a surface area of {{cvt|18500|km2}} and a volume of {{cvt|596|km3}}. This main portion has a maximum depth of {{cvt|187.7|m}} and a mean depth of {{cvt|32.2|m}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2019/eccc/en13-5/En13-5-00-257-eng.pdf|last=Schertzer| first=W.

On some of the plains surrounding Great Slave Lake, [[climax community|climax]] [[Patterned ground|polygonal bog]]s have formed, the early successional stage to which often consists of pioneer [[Picea mariana|black spruce]].<ref>{{citation|last=Hogan |first=C.

South of Great Slave Lake, in a remote corner of [[Wood Buffalo National Park]], is the [[Whooping Crane Summer Range]], a nesting site of a remnant flock of [[whooping crane]]s, discovered in 1954.<ref>{{cite journal| url=http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/biosciornithology/19/ |publisher=University of Nebraska |title=Whooper Recount|journal=Papers in Ornithology |date=February 1982 | access-date=20 January 2007|last1=Johnsgard |first1=Paul }}</ref>

===Ecology===
The Slave River provides the basin with high nutrient levels; accordingly, coupled with a general absence of pollution and invasive species, the lake is rich in aquatic life relative to its biome. Fish species include [[lake whitefish]], [[lake trout]], [[Stenodus nelma|inconnu]], [[northern pike]] and [[walleye]], [[Cisco (fish)|cisco]], [[burbot]], [[ninespine stickleback]], [[Shiner (fish)|shiner]], also [[longnose sucker]]. Lake whitefish enjoy the highest levels, followed by cisco and suckers. [[Climate change]], specifically reduced ice coverage times, is impacting the populations of these species. [[Copepoda]] are also prevalent in the lake.<ref>[https://nwtdiscoveryportal.enr.gov.nt.ca/geoportaldocuments/REPORT_-_2011_12_DFO_(TALLMAN_JANJUA)_-_CIMP116_-_GSL_PLAIN_LANGUAGE.pdf Ecosystem Model of Great Slave Lake to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries management] nt.ca</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/great-slave-lake | title=Great Slave Lake &#124; the Canadian Encyclopedia }}</ref>

==Ice road==
Great Slave Lake has one [[ice road]] known as the Dettah ice road. It is a {{cvt|6.5|km}} road that connects the Northwest Territories capital of Yellowknife to [[Dettah]], a small First Nations fishing community also in the Northwest Territories. To reach the community in summer the drive is {{cvt|27|km}} via the [[Ingraham Trail]].

==In popular culture==
===Television===
From 2014 to 2016, [[Animal Planet]] aired a documentary series called ''[[Ice Lake Rebels]]''. It takes place on Great Slave Lake, and details the lives of houseboaters on the lake.<ref name="Animal Planet (Ice Lake Rebels)">{{cite web | url=http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/ice-lake-rebels/ | title=Ice Lake Rebels | access-date=23 September 2015}}</ref>

[[Alone season 6|Season 6]] and [[Alone season 7|season 7]] of the survival game show ''[[Alone (TV series)|Alone]]'' were set along the shore of the east arm of Great Slave Lake in the [[subarctic]], about {{cvt|250|mi|order=flip}} south of the [[Arctic Circle]] and about {{cvt|70|mi|order=flip}} south of the [[Tree line#Arctic|tree line]].
