Tadoule Lake

Tadoule Lake lies near the headwaters of the Seal River, in the northern forests west of Hudson Bay. Its Dene name refers to floating ashes or charcoal, and a form of it appeared on Peter Fidler's map of 1807. The lake lies within the winter range of the Qamanirjuaq caribou herd, whose migrations sustained the Sayisi Dene. The animals furnished not only food but also hides for clothing and shelter in this demanding northern country.
