Saoyú-ʔehdacho, Sacred nature reserve and cultural heritage site near Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Two peninsulas, Saoyú and ʔehdacho, extend into Great Bear Lake, encompassing 5,587 square kilometers of protected terrain and raised beaches.
The site contains archaeological resources indicating human presence for over 5,000 years, leading to its designation as a National Historic Site in 1997.
The Sahtúgot'ı̨nę people maintain their traditions through the Denecho Knowledge Centre, where exhibits showcase Dene culture and animal-related storytelling.
The site operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering activities such as camping, paddling, snowshoeing, and hiking throughout the year.
Parks Canada and Déline First Nation jointly manage this protected area, making it the first National Historic Site with Aboriginal co-management in Canada.
