K'asho Got'ine

K’asho Got’ine country lies along the lower Mackenzie River, a great northern waterway linking the interior with the Arctic. Dene families travelled through its forests and rivers to hunt and fish, and exchanged goods with neighbouring peoples before European traders arrived. Around 1804–1805 the North West Company established a post in the vicinity, later known as Fort Good Hope. It became a meeting place for Dene and Gwich’in traders.
