Sahtu region

The Sahtu is а very beautiful region.

There are five communities in the Sahtu region. Their names are Norman Wells, Tulita_, Fort Good Hope, Colvilie Lake, and Deline.

Norman Wells is the main stop for the region. Canadian Airlines stops in Norman Wells and North Wright continues the flights to the other communities. Deline good for there fishing at Great Bear Lake. Fort Good Hope known for the rapids on the Mackenzie River and Tulita is known for the great shaman, Yamoria. Colville Lake is one of the smallest communities in the Northwest Territories. Most of the small communities around Norman Wells still live traditional lives. In Deline the first language that is spoken to their children is Slavey and then English.

During the month of January and March they have winter roads and that is how they bring their groceries into the communities and the prices for food go down until the road closes. The prices go back up until the barge season, which start mid-June until early October.

When you travel the Sahtu, you need to know what you’re doing or have a guide that knows the area that your traveling in. When you travel the Mackenzie River you'll see a lot of wildlife and beautiful scenery.

The story of the shaman, Yamoria, is a very beautiful legend and there are four versions.

You can still hear and see things he did if you know what you are looking for. If you are interested in the Story and want to know more about the legend you can see one of our Elders in the communities of Tulita or Deline.

All I can say is you will never go hungry in the Sahtu region.
