Add to My List Check Off

Located along the Yukon River in the sub-arctic region of Northwest Canada, Tr’ondëk-Klondike lies within the homeland of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation. It contains archaeological and historic sources that reflect Indigenous people’s adaptation to unprecedented changes caused by the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century. The series illustrates different aspects of the colonization of this area, including sites of exchange between the Indigenous population and the colonists, and sites demonstrating the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in’s adaptations to colonial presence. The eight sites are: Dawson City Fort Reliance Ch’ëdähdëk (Forty Mile) Ch’ëdähdëk Tth’än K’et (Dënezhu Graveyard) Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine Tr’ochëk Jëjik Dhä Dënezhu Kek’it (Moosehide Village) Tthe Zrąy Kek’it (Black City) Source: UNESCO
