T'äw Tà'är National Historic Site

T'äw Tà'är stands at the meeting place of network of travel routes made up of waterways and trails. The Ta’an Kwäch’än historically lived on or traveled through this site to harvest animals, plants, and fish.

Throughout the year, people would pass through to visit with neighbours and kin. The travel routes that met at the site played a key role in fostering marriages, community, family lineages, and good relations with neighbours such as the Northern Tutchone, Tagish, Tlingit and Kaska peoples. The relationships and kinship ties created between these southern Yukon peoples remain strong and continue to connect them to the spirit of this place.

From T'äw Tà'är, located on the Teslin River, trails lead west to Tàa’an Mǟn (Lake Laberge), east to Livingstone Creek and the Big Salmon River, and south to Marsh Lake on the Yukon River.

In 2012, the site received its official designation as a National Historic Site. This commemoration of the site was the outcome to the collaborative efforts of Parks Canada and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council.
