Seel River Upland

The Seal River watershed stretches across northern Manitoba, from a land of forest and many lakes towards Hudson Bay. The river itself flows east from Shethanei Lake. Dene people and their predecessors travelled through this country and hunted the caribou that crossed its waters and barrens. In 1771 Samuel Hearne travelled through the region on his northern journey, guided by the Dene leader Matonabbee and his companions.
