Pehdzeh Ki

Pehdzeh Ki lies in the valley of the Deh Cho, the great river also known as the Mackenzie. Dene families travelled through the surrounding country in seasonal groups, hunting and fishing along the river and in the nearby mountains. The North West Company established Fort Alexander at the mouth of the Willowlake River in 1817. Though that post lasted only a few years, it marked the arrival of the fur trade in this part of the valley.
