It has been a cultural crossroads, a gateway to the Barren Lands, and a landscape rich with history, endurance, and meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this second edition, readers can revisit the storied route that links Great Slave Lake to Artillery Lake and beyond, offering compelling tales of exploration, survival, and tradition. Showcasing a collection of historical accounts, canoeing expeditions, and the voices of those who have long known and cared for this land, the book paints a vivid portrait of one of northern Canada's most iconic passages as it changes over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to this edition are detailed maps featuring Indigenous place names, honouring the deep and ongoing relationships Dene and Métis Peoples have with this territory. A newly added chapter also explores the 2019 creation of Thaidene Nëné National Park Reserve, a monumental achievement in Indigenous-led conservation that protects more than 26,000 square kilometres of culturally and ecologically significant land. This edition also features a new foreword by Juni Gahdële, a respected Lutsël K'é Dene First Nation elder, community leader, and advocate for Indigenous rights. Kahaɂa Tuwé The Gateway to the Barren Lands is both a tribute and an invitation-to walk with humility in the footsteps of those who came before, and to recognize the enduring power of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67840032670003,"sku":"9781068992698","price":38.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UdN1Tj9wCn9781068992698.webp?v=1793393581","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/kaha-578-a-tuwe-gateway-to-the-barren-lands-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
