Canada ~ Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve - National Park ~

... Another wonderful view of Earth's natural wonders💚... don't think you can travel faster from one amazing country to another than in postcard land😍... a peaceful stunning mountain view reflected on the lakes tranquil crystal clear water... one of Canada’s newest national parks... a haven for adventurers who enjoy hiking and paddling through its remote wilderness... the park is home to several endangered species, including grizzly bears and woodland caribou, as well as Canada’s northernmost population of mountain goats... the Park is named after the Nááts'įhch'oh (pronounced NATS-ee-cho) mountain... a powerful place for the the Dene First Nations... the region is rich in cultural history... Thanks a lot Andrene!! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)...  no problem for me those "really" small letters😃... I always have a magnifying glass🔍 on my desk and using it for years now (mostly for finding the year dates on stamps).

Nááts'ihch'oh, meaning "the mountain that's sharp like a porcupine," is named for a spine-like peak long sacred to the region's First Nations. Nááts'ihch'oh  is the Northwest Territories' newest national park, officially created in 2014 in collaboration with the Sahtu Dene.

The national park reserve covers an area of 4,850 square kilometres, protecting the Sahtú Settlement Area of the upper South Nahanni River watershed, adjoining Nahanni National Park Reserve.

The Shúhtaot’ine (Mountain Dene) travelled these lands and river corridors as part of their hunting and gathering cycle that took them from Tulita to Nááts’įhch’oh and beyond.
