Sahoyue

Saoyú, or Grizzly Bear Mountain, projects into Sahtú, Great Bear Lake. Its shores and hills form a cultural landscape rich in the stories of the Sahtúgot’ı̨nę, the Bear Lake people. One story tells of a hunter’s encounter with a powerful grizzly bear and carries teachings about conduct towards bears on the mountain. Together with neighbouring Ɂehdacho, Saoyú is part of a homeland travelled for hunting and fishing.
