Mahony

Tuwí Túé, or Mahony Lake, lies in the wooded country west of Great Bear Lake. Dene families travelled and camped in this region, fishing and hunting along its lakes and waterways. In December 1835, three Hudson’s Bay Company employees sent to retrieve cached fish killed eleven Dene men, women and children near the lake. The tragedy remains part of Tulita’s oral history and later became the subject of a court case.
