History
The Naha and Kaska Dena roamed the area, for what sources point out to be millennia (allegedely up to 10.000 years ago). Prior to European exposure, the Dene people were highly mobile around the Deh Cho (Mackenzie River) region. Men were mainly hunters, women used to mostly stay at home and do housework. Usually, people would travel in smaller extended-family groups from one place to another, never to settle indefinitely.
