Selkirk First Nation Points of Interest

There is so much to see and experience in the land of the Selkirk First Nation! With the help of our friends at Indigenous Yukon, we’ve put together a list of unforgettable sights and sounds that celebrate the culture and heritage of this place:

Fort Selkirk

Step onto shore and into the past at this perfectly preserved townsite of Huchá Hudän/Fort Selkirk. Cabins, churches, trading post and archaeological sites immerse you in our world of Indigenous trade networks, fur trade, gold rush and sternwheeler history. Established and protected by the Nation’s Final Agreements, you won’t want to miss this jewel on the Yukon River.

Łútsäw Wetland Habitat Protection Area

Home of 18 archaeological sites and numerous historic sites, this area has been used continuously for the last 5,000 to 8,000 years. The location of the archaeological artifacts at traditional fishing sites and the current oral history about these lakes suggest that it’s been used much the same way over thousands of years.

This area is protected through the Nation’s Final Agreements to ensure that the diversity of fish and wildlife is maintained and celebrated.

Selkirk Spirit Dancers

Don’t miss out on a chance to see a performance by this talented group of youth who are learning their traditional drumbeats, songs and dances from Elders. The Nation’s artists sew, bead, and carve regalia for the dancers.
