K'áhbamítúé

K’áhbamítúé, “Ptarmigan Net Lake,” lies north of Great Bear Lake in the country of the K’asho Got’ine. Its name recalls the nets used to catch ptarmigan among the willows along the shore. The lake has also been an important fishing place and part of the seasonal hunting and trapping country of the Duhta Got’ine. Families travelled between its waters and the Mackenzie valley as resources became available.
