It is situated on the eastern shore of Great Slave Lake, approximately 150 kilometers north of Yellowknife, the territory's capital. The village is home to a small community of approximately 100 people, primarily members of the Dene people, who are part of the Sahtu Dene First Nation.

The village was established in the early 20th century as a trading post and later became a community center for the local Dene people. It is known for its traditional Dene culture, including hunting, fishing, and trapping. The village also has a small school, a community hall, and a few businesses, including a general store and a café.

Suktsii'ni is accessible by air, with regular flights from Yellowknife. The village is also connected to the rest of the territory by a network of gravel roads. The climate in Suktsii'ni is subarctic, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The village is surrounded by boreal forest and tundra, and is home to a variety of wildlife, including moose, caribou, and various bird species.

The economy of Suktsii'ni is primarily based on subsistence activities, such as hunting, fishing, and trapping. The village also has a small tourism industry, with opportunities for visitors to experience traditional Dene culture and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The village is also home to a small hydroelectric plant, which provides electricity to the community.

Suktsii'ni is a remote and isolated community, with limited access to healthcare and other services.
