Thaolintoa

Thaolintoa takes its Dene name from a lake on the Tha-anne River system, in the country west of Hudson Bay. The river links a chain of northern lakes before reaching the bay. Caribou crossed the waterways of this region during their migrations, and Inuit hunters gathered at crossing places to spear the swimming animals from kayaks. Meat was stored near the hunting grounds to be collected later for the winter months.
