The survey was restricted primarily to the northern and northwestern shores of the lake, a region that was occupied at the time of historic contact by the Hare group of Athapaskans (Dene). Approximately 140 lithic (prehistoric) sites were located and are described together with the same number of historic camps, structures and caribou fences. |
