Dene Naowere Ko
Canoe Trip
Winter in Deline is cold and often clear, beginning in October and lasting to May. Temperatures dip to -50°C from December to February. Yet April begins a time of very pleasant weather, and in summer the temperatures can be a warm 25 to 30°C. In May and June, we fortify ourselves against black flies and mosquitoes. Deline has long been appreciated by fishing enthusiasts with a taste for the true experience of the Canadian north. Great Bear Lake is host to world record Lake Trout, including a "monster" caught in the summer of 2001 that tipped the scales at 74 pounds.

Food from the Land Animal Tracks  

If one thing could be singled out that binds the people of Deline most strongly to their land and heritage, it would be caribou. Many traditional stories show the wisdom and character of the caribou. The caribou has always been a staple of Dene subsistence, and its seasonal migrations have determined people's movements on the land.
