Tr’onkëk Hwëch’in First Nation Points of Interest

With the help of Indigenous Yukon, we’ve put together a list of authentic experiences for your next visit to the land of the Tr’onkëk Hwëch’in First Nation to celebrate and experience the many ways the Nation’s Agreements have brought the vision of Chief Boss to life:

Tombstone Territorial Park 

Established in the Nation’s Final Agreement, the 2,200 square kilometre park has a unique wilderness of rugged peaks, permafrost landforms, abundant wildlife and rich First Nations culture. There are 78 known archeological sites within the Tombstone Park and archeological evidence shows human activity dating back at least 8,000 years.

Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre 

Explore and gain fresh perspectives on the gold rush with a Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in guided tour, a short film, hands-on cultural activities, bannock making, and a gift shop full of locally made beaded slippers, arts and crafts.

Tr’ondëk Lookout (Tr’ochëk National Historic Site of Canada)

Hear the story of this vibrant Hän fish camp and the role it played in the survival of the Tr’ondëk people as told through interpretive panels at this National Historic Site at the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers.

This site was designated as a Heritage Site in the Nation’s Final Agreement. Initially it was known as the Tr’o-ju-wech’in Heritage Site, but eventually it became known as Tr’ochëk, which roughly translates as “the place at the mouth of the river.”
