Wekweeti Lake

Wekweètì, also called Snare Lake, lies near the edge of the barrenlands in Tłı̨chǫ country. Its name means “his rock lake.” The surrounding waterways formed part of routes travelled by boat and sled, especially in autumn when families went towards the barrenlands in search of migrating caribou. The Bathurst herd passed through the wider region between its northern calving grounds and southern winter range.
