Airport contact
Wekweètì is a fly-in Tłı̨chǫ (Dogrib Dene) community and the smallest community government in the NWT (pop. ~109), served only by Air Tindi from Yellowknife (about 45 min) apart from a seasonal winter ice road. The gravel strip, 3.2 NM east of the settlement, was formerly named Snare Lake Airport after the community's pre-1996 name.
