Kai'theli'ke'hot'inne

Kai'theli'ke'hot'inne is the name of a Dene group associated with the western shore of Lake Athabasca. Their country extended along the Slave River to the north and the Athabasca River to the south. Families travelled between seasonal camps, hunting, fishing and gathering amid the forests and lakes of the northern interior. As the fur trade expanded, Dene groups traded and carried furs through the waterways linking this country with distant posts.
