English

This lake has names in two languages spoken in southwestern Yukon: Dezadeash Lake, from the Tlingit language, referring to a local way of fishing, and Titl'àt Mǟn, meaning “head of the lake” in Southern Tutchone. Having two names in different languages underscores the importance of this lake to the diverse First Nations in the region.
