Connections for Tr’ondëk-Klondike
Tr’ondëk-Klondike by Solivagant
2
Tr’ondëk-Klondike testifies to the dramatic effects that the search for gold and precious minerals had on the indigenous people and the landscape.
The ancestral land of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in was overrun by newcomers in 1874 and eventually came under colonial authority in 1908. The eight selected sites include archeological remains and settlements of indigenous inhabitants, traders and colonial settlers.
Community Perspective: best visited on a tour from Dawson to understand its history.
