Great Bear Lake
The Great Bear Lake (Slavey: ''Sahtú'' , French: ''Grand lac de l'Ours'') is the largest lake entirely in Canada (Lake Superior and Lake Huron straddling the Canada-US border are larger), the third largest in North America, and the seventh largest in the world. The lake is in the Northwest Territories, on the Arctic Circle between 65 and 67 degrees of northern latitude and between 118 and 123 degrees western longitude, above sea level.
The name originated from the words ''"Satudene"'' in Denesuline meaning “grizzly bear water people.” The Sahtu Dene people are named after the lake. Grizzly Bear Mountain on the shore of the lake also comes from Denesuline, meaning, “bear large hill.”〔Johnson, L. (The Great Bear Lake: Its Place in History ).
