The Dene Cultural Institute was created at the first Dene Cultural Conference, July 26-30, 1986. Two Hundred people from twenty-six communities, representing more than fourteen thousand members of the Dene Nation, came together in Lutsel K'e (formerly Snowdrift), a small community on the shores of Great Slave Lake. They had one concern: to stop the steady erosion and the potential loss of their culture. During the meeting the representatives decided to create the Dene Cultural Institute. A Board of Directors was chosen and given the mandate to develop the new organization. The mission or purpose of the Dene Cultural Institute is: "To work with the people of the Dene Nation, and with other organizations, to preserve, protect, and promote the Dene culture, languages, spirituality, heritage, traditions and customs."
