Let’s start with that video M used to introduce us to the Nahanni Valley.
And here’s a much longer video that really gives you a detailed looked at the valley and the journey through it, down the river, and all the gorgeous natural features someone journeying through it would see.
One last video, if you’re so inclined. This one included newspaper clippings the refer to the mysteries surrounding the valley, and it’s a homemade documentary from two people who spent a ton of time there.
M Also showed us a map of the Nahanni, so let’s put that up here right away so you can see the area and the First Nation name for these locations.
And speaking of those First Nation names, we tried to pronounce one live on the podcast for you, but it was a little past our abilities. So we’re putting up this pronunciation website. It’s an excellent source if you’re looking for an absolute beginners guide to the language.
The Nahæâ Dehé Dene Band are the ones that live in the area, so here’s the website for their band if you’re interested in exploring what they have to say about themselves and the area.
And what about what Parks Canada has to say about the national park? I’ll link you to the national park website itself.
Finally, if you have the funds to take a trip to the Nahanni and are feeling inclined to do that, here’s a guide site for you that promises to be the place to go for all the info you need for a trip to the region.
If you’re in the mood for some poetry, enjoy this ballad of The McLeod Brothers Three that tells the tale of the McLeod brothers who ventured into the Nahanni and leant themselves to one of the most enduring mysteries of the area.
