释义 |
The river's only other rapids, the Sans Sault Rapids, are found {{convert|56|km|mi|sp=us}} upstream.[1] According to the 1968 Great Slave Lake and Mackenzie River Pilot, the rapids lie between mile 672 and 682.[4] Early explorers for the North West Company reported that stone age "eskimo" were known to have ascended the river as far as The Ramparts, in search of flint, to make stone tools.
