In memory of Tagish ABSTRACT Recently documented ice patch sites in the southwest Yukon are ideal for evaluating precontact hunter-gatherer land-use patterns in the western subarctic. Located in the alpine of the mountainous regions of the boreal forest, ice patches are associated with well preserved hunting equipment, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and an abundance of faunal remains dating to over 8000 years ago. However, current models are inadequate for explaining caribou hunting at ice patches as they tend to emphasize large-scale communal hunts associated with latitudinal movements of caribou. Much less is known about the alititudinal movment of caribou and the associated hunting forays to ice patches in the alpine.

David McMahan Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources ABSTRACT The Alaska Office of History and Archaeology conducted ice patch surveys in the Denali Highway re- gion of central Alaska for three seasons. Prehistoric organic and lithic hunting artifacts and fauna had melted from the ice patches and were subsequently recovered. These items include arrow shafts, barbed antler points, lithic projectile points, and what is likely a stick for setting ground squirrel snares. Or- ganic artifacts recovered from this survey date within the last thousand years. Lithic projectile points recovered from ice patches suggest that prehistoric hunters have been hunting caribou on ice patches in the Denali Highway region for at least the last half of the Holocene. keywords: atlatl, bow and arrow, gopher stick, mountain archaeology INTRODUCTION Ice patches with caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and cul- al. 2005; Hare et al. 2004a, Hare et al. 2004b).

That lake, made famous around the Yukon Facts world by Robert Service was named for a Quebecer. Hamacher Photos Like many other place names in the Yukon, Lake Laberge had at least several native names. In 1862, explorer Aurel Krause recorded the Tlinget name as Print-Friendly Version Tahini-wud. In 1883, the American explorer Frederick Schwatka , recorded the Tagish name "Kluk-tas-si". But it was William Dall , director of the Scientific corp of the Western Union Telegraph expedition, who gave the lake its present day name. He named Lake Laberge after Michael Laberge of Chateauguay, Quebec. Laberge along with Frank Ketchum of New Brunswick, were explorers for the Western Union who came up river from Fort Yukon to Fort Selkirk in 1867. They were looking for a possible route for the Collins Overland Telegraph line being built from New York to Paris. No-one knows for sure if Michael Laberge ever saw his lake, but it is clear that he had it described to him by native people who lived along the river. The Collins Telegraph line was never built, but the lake went on to Charles Labarge, a relative, served on the Northwestel Board.

  • Chilkoot Trail and Yukon River Canoe
    The Historic Klondike Route Hike the Chilkoot Trail and Canoe the Yukon River on an 18 day trip following in the footsteps of Yukon Gold Rush Stampeders! “The Klondike Gold Rush captured the imagination of the world. Rich and poor, young and old, women and men were attracted to the Klondike from all parts of the globe. No imagine better represents this historic event than the endless line of stampeders struggling over the Chilkoot Pass during the winter of 1897-98. Today the Chilkoot Trail National and Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park commemorate this extraordinary journey. The contract between the scenic grandeur of the coastal mountains and the fragile remains of the stampeders’ goods and temporary structures make the Chilkoot a unique backcountry trail.” A hiker’s guide to the Chilkoot trail Historic Klondike Route Information Join us for 18 days of adventure in the Alaska and the Yukon. We’ll start our trip in historic Skagway, Alaska with a 5-day hike over the Chilkoot Trail, traveling in the footsteps of gold rushers from 100 years ago. Once over the trail we’ll trade hiking boots for paddles and begin the 400 miles of canoeing that will bring us to Dawson City Yukon, and the heart of the Klondike gold country. Along the way we’ll pass derelict steam ships, native villages, gold dredges, current day fish camps, trappers cabins, Fort Selkirk, and other relics from the Gold Rush. We’ll also visit Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon, we’ll run the famous Five Finger Rapids, and pass through Lake Labarge.

  • Routes to Riches 2015 1 Danielhenryalaska.Com
    Routes to Riches 2015 1 danielhenryalaska.com Routes to Riches Daniel Lee Henry [email protected] A ground squirrel robe nearly smothered northern Tlingits’ nascent trust in their newly-landed missionaries. Long-time trading ties with Southern Tutchone and Interior Tlingit funneled wealth to Native residents of the upper Lynn Canal. Luxurious furs from the frigid north brought prices many times that of local pelts. For example, while the coastal red fox fur was worth $1.75 in “San Francisco dollars” in 1883, a Yukon silver fox brought up to $50 (about $1200 in 2015). Several times a year, Tlingit expeditions traversed routes considered secret until local leaders revealed their existence to Russians and Americans in the mid-nineteenth century. A day’s paddle to the upper Chilkat River brought travelers to a trail leading over through barrier coastal mountains into the vast, rolling subarctic Interior. On the eastern route, packers left Dyea at the terminus of Taiya Inlet and slogged a twenty-mile trail to a keyhole pass into lake country that drains into the Yukon River headwaters. The image of prospectors struggling up the “Golden Staircase” to Chilkoot Pass engraved the Klondike gold rush of ‘98 onto the license plates of cultural memory. For centuries, Chilkats and Chilkoots sustained a trading cartel connected by their respective routes. From tide’s edge to the banks of the Yukon River four hundred miles north, Tlingits insisted on customer allegiance. They discouraged Interior trading partners from commerce with anyone but themselves and expressly prohibited economic activity without invitation. The 1852 siege of Fort Selkirk and subsequent expulsion of Hudson’s Bay Company demonstrated the market realities of the Chilkat/Chilkoot cartel.

However, weather information from historical documents also has the potential to provide a wealth of climatic data. Historical documents offer many advantages over traditional physical proxies, including high temporal resolution and accurate dating. Journals from three Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) posts (Frances Lake, Pelly Banks and Fort Selkirk) in the southern Yukon Territory were analysed for weather. Climatic data were present in two forms: direct data (i.e. references to temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud conditions) and indirect data (i.e. ice activity, biological, human impacts and miscellaneous remarks). A hierarchical coding scheme was applied to the journals, allowing for frequency counts of conditions. Weather information from the three journals was used to construct a seasonal warm/cold index for the period 1842-1852. The most common feature during the historical period was the dominance of mild winters throughout all years, which may be linked to the end of the Little Ice Age in the southern Yukon.

New institutions of public government with responsibilities for land use planning and resources management are being created pursuant to land claim settlements. Resource management boards have, or will assume from DIAND, many of its historical regulatory responsibilities. However, in the interim, DIAND is still responsible for managing federal lands in a way that complements the activities of the new institutions and governments. This includes, as a specific component of DIAND’s sustainable development strategy, continuing to develop a program for the effective management of granular resources.

    About the Yukon River The Yukon River was called Kweek-puk (Great River) by the Alaskan Inupiat, and Kwitchpak by the exploring Russians. In the Yukon Territory it is Takambo (Wide Open Waters Place) to the Kwanlin Dun at Whitehorse and Tage Cho Ge to the Selkirk people at Pelly Crossing/Fort Selkirk. Robert Campbell, a trader for the Hudson’s Bay Company (H.B.Co.), travelled to what he called the “Lewes” River in 1843 via the Liard and Pelly rivers. John Bell, also of the H.B.Co., first saw the “Youcon” River in 1845 when he explored the western Mackenzie drainage and travelled down the Porcupine River. In 1862 Campbell confirmed that his “Lewes” and Bell’s “Youcon” were the same river. At various times the source of the Yukon was thought to be the Teslin, the Lewes or the Pelly rivers. After the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-98, the riverboat pilots distinguished parts of the river by name, such as the Fiftymile from Marsh Lake to Lake Laberge, and the Thirtymile from Lake Laberge to the Teslin. In 1964 “Yukon River” was applied to the entire watercourse from Marsh Lake in the Yukon Territory to the Bering Sea at the Alaska coast. By whatever name, the Yukon has been a major transportation route and a bountiful source of food since the last Ice Age. – from the Yukon Territorial Government sign at the Yukon River bridge on the Alaska Highway, near where the river begins at Marsh Lake History of the Yukon River Quest ‘The race to the midnight sun’ By JEFF BRADY YRQ Media Director The Yukon River Quest had its beginnings during the Klondike Gold Rush Centennial years.
