World record catches of these species have come out of Great Slave Lake. Hunting is popular here as well with a number of big game animals, moose, and woodland and barren ground caribou. Members often have the opportunity to participate in the community hunts for caribou. This is a wonderful opportunity to live on the land with community people, especially the elders, and to experience the traditional Dene lifestyle. Members transferring into the Northwest Territories should be aware that hunting licenses are only issued after residing in the north for two consecutive years.
Fishing licenses are available to everyone.
Other outdoor activities include cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. RAE EDZO is only 110 kilometres from Yellowknife so members may find it convenient to become involved in activities there. There is a movie theatre with three screens offering first run movies. The Northern Arts and Cultural Centre is a 200-seat theatre presenting live performance, rivalling any small live theatre in the south. Yellowknife has a dynamic art community, with actors, musicians, film production, visual artists, and craftspeople of all persuasions.
