Kakisa (Slavey language: K’agee; between the willows) is a "Designated Authority"[5] in the Dehcho Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The community is located on a lake of the same name, and is southeast of Fort Providence. Originally located at Tathlina Lake, the community moved, in 1962, to the present location in order to be closer to the Mackenzie Highway and is linked by a 13 km (8 mi) road.[6]
