Wekweè'Tì

Wekweètì, “his rock lake,” lies in the country of the Tłı̨chǫ between the forest and the barrenlands. The lake and its surroundings were part of a boat and sled route used by families travelling north in autumn to hunt migrating caribou. The Bathurst herd moved through this area between its northern calving grounds and winter range. Camps beside the lakes provided places from which to follow the animals across the seasons.
