Gwich'in Uplands

The uplands of the Peel watershed reach towards the Ogilvie and Richardson mountains. Rivers and trails cross the country of the Teetł’it Gwich’in, linking the Mackenzie lowlands with hunting grounds in the mountains. Families travelled up the Arctic Red and other rivers to hunt caribou, moose and sheep. Along migration routes, caribou fences channelled animals towards hunters and snares, providing food and skins for the community.
