Exploring the Place |

Hodoodzoo, or 'Sliding,' is one of many sacred sites linked with Yamozhah,
a mythic Dogrib hero. For archaeologists, sacred sites of this nature are very
difficult to identify, and almost impossible to interpret without the help of
Dogrib oral history. For the Dogrib, the well-known story of Yamozhah and
the wolverine has helped to preserve their knowledge of this place, demonstrating
the importance of the oral tradition to the Dogrib's cultural memory.
