Thutade

Thutade Lake lies among the mountains at the head of the Finlay River. Its outlet begins a long journey through the Peace and Mackenzie river systems towards the Arctic Ocean. Sekani routes led up the Finlay to Thutade and neighbouring lakes, then across the divide towards the Stikine and Skeena headwaters. In 1824 the fur trader Samuel Black travelled up the Finlay with Indigenous guides to explore the northern interior.
