Tulita - "Where Two Rivers Meet"

Tulita is a small Dene community at the confluence of the Great Bear and Mackenzie Rivers. It began as a trading post in 1810. Old Hudson Bay buildings still overlook the river, and some residents still make their living by trapping, fishing and hunting. Be sure to see the historic, squared-log Anglican Church, and admire the view of Bear Rock, where the Dene hero Yamoria stretched the hides of giant beavers, in the time before history. The community has an attractive arbour, or circular centre for events, and there is a hotel.
