Nejanilini Uplands

Nejanilini Lake lies in the far northern lake country west of Hudson Bay. Around it, open forest gives way to lichen woodland and forest-tundra, with bogs among the lakes. The Sayisi Dene know the lake as Bah yon and have long travelled and hunted across this northern country. The land around its waters forms part of the great range of the caribou, an animal central to the lives of the Dene of the interior.
