Three Eagles was going away on a trip up the Mackenzie to the Great Slave Lake.

(White Fang, by Jack London)

It was in a village at the Great Slave Lake, that, in the course of resenting the evil of the hands of the man-animals, he came to modify the law that he had learned from Grey Beaver: namely, that the unpardonable crime was to bite one of the gods.
