Unjegah
Unjegah, a Dane-zaa name recorded for the Peace River, means “large river.” The Peace cuts east through the Rocky Mountains after the Finlay and Parsnip meet in the long mountain trench. Dane-zaa country extended along the river from its canyon towards Lake Athabasca, while Sekani people occupied the upper watersheds. In 1793 Alexander Mackenzie travelled upstream through this country on his journey across the continent.
