Wha'Tì

Whatì, a Tłı̨chǫ name associated with marten, lies on the shore of Lac La Martre between Great Slave and Great Bear lakes. The area has long provided fishing and hunting grounds. Tłı̨chǫ tradition remembers an old conflict here with Chipewyan people, and the nearby waterfall holds a place in local memory. Trails and waterways linked the lake with other camps across a country of forest, lakes and migrating caribou.
