Tadoule

The country around Tadoule Lake lies in the northern forests of Manitoba, among lakes and rivers travelled by the Sayisi Dene. Caribou moving through this region were central to their way of life, providing food and materials for clothing and shelter. The lake's Dene name refers to floating ashes or charcoal. The explorer Peter Fidler recorded a form of the name on a map in 1807, long before a permanent settlement grew beside its shores.
