Rocher River, Canada

The settlement of Rocher River was a Hudson's Bay Company trading post, but the Tthetsënɂotı̨́né people (also known as the Yellowknives) had inhabited the area for generations. The population of Rocher River had been dropping for decades by the 1960s; the disruption of hunting grounds brought on by the Taltson Hydroelectric Project was enough to displace the small number of people who remained.
