   • 2006, Carl Waldman, Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes, page 65:

     In addition to their leatherwork, woodwork, stonework, and bonework, the Chipewyan also worked in metal.

   • 2015 March 12, Rachel Browne, “What’s in a name? A Chipewyan’s battle over her native tongue”, in Maclean's‎, archived from the original on 13 March 2015:

     One of the big challenges, it turns out, is the government itself. Last week, Shene Catholique-Valpy, an Aboriginal woman born and raised in the Northwest Territories, spoke out publicly about her year-long fight to have the the traditional Chipewyan spelling of her daughter’s name, Sahaiʔa May Talbot, on her birth certificate. Sahaiʔa roughly translates to: “As the sun breaks through the clouds or over the horizon.” And the symbol, which resembles a question mark without the dot, called a glottal stop, indicates the correct pronunciation and meaning; without it, the name is incorrect.
