Turili Uplands

South of Turíli, the southeastern arm of Great Bear Lake, forests and lakes spread towards Great Slave Lake. This country was travelled by Tłı̨chǫ and Sahtu Dene families, who moved between fishing places and caribou hunting grounds. Waterways and overland trails connected their camps with the great lakes and the Mackenzie River. After the fur trade reached the region, some of these routes also led to trading posts.
