Sahtu Uplands

Between the Mackenzie River and Sahtú, Great Bear Lake, wooded uplands surround the Great Bear River. The river flows west from the lake to join the Mackenzie at Tulita, a traditional meeting place opposite the great limestone outcrop of Bear Rock. Dene families travelled the river and its neighbouring lakes to fish and hunt. Their paths connected the lake country with the larger valley of the Deh Cho.
