Wholdaia Lake

Wholdaia Lake is a long, irregular body of water on the upper Dubawnt River. Water enters from Anaunethad Lake to the west and leaves by an arm extending to the northeast. Beyond Wholdaia the Dubawnt runs through more lakes on its long journey to the Thelon and Hudson Bay. The lake's name has been recorded as a Chipewyan word for jackfish, or northern pike, a reminder of the Dene presence in this northern lake country.
