English: Sahoyúé-§ehdacho (also known as "Sahoyue-Edacho", "Saoyú-ʔehdacho", "Saoyú and Æehdacho" and "Grizzly Bear Mountain and Scented Grass Hills") is a cultural landscape in the Northwest Territories, Canada, comprising two peninsulas in Great Bear Lake. Both peninsulas rise gradually over a number of kilometres to broad, relatively flat summits covered with open boreal forest. The site has great cultural and spiritual significance for the Sahtu people, as it is considered sacred land and it features prominently in their oral histories.
Français : Sahoyúé-§ehdacho (aussi appelé Sahoyue-Edacho, Saoyú-ʔehdacho, Saoyú et Æehdacho, ou « Mont Grizzly Bear et les collines Scented Grass ») est un vaste paysage culturel composé de deux péninsules dans le Grand lac de l’Ours. Les deux péninsules s'élèvent graduellement et s'étendent sur plusieurs kilomètres, sur un plateau recouvert d'une forêt boréale claire. Ces paysages exceptionnels, où se fusionnent le monde naturel et le monde spirituel des Dénés du Sahtu, contribuent à les définir comme peuple.
