Nááts´ihch´oh [pronounced Nah tseen cho] National Park, to be established in collaboration with the Sahtu Dene and Métis of Tulita and Norman Wells, NWT, borders Nahanni National Park Reserve (NNPR) in the neighbouring Dehcho region. Nááts´ihch´oh National Park will be one of the final steps in protecting the entire South Nahanni Watershed, as it will join the South Nahanni River Headwaters with NNPR. The result will be two connected national parks working together to protect the globally renowned Boreal wilderness of the Greater Nahanni Ecosystem.
