The morning before a wildfire forced Kátł’odeeche First Nation to evacuate not once, but twice, Anna Kasper said a herd of caribou near the N.W.T. community started moving along the shore of Great Slave Lake. 

“All of a sudden, they made this trek — they were all walking away,” the Kátł’odeeche member said. “So I’m guessing they knew that the fire was happening. They were walking along the lake shore.”
