  • Yukon Hotel Dawson City, Yukon Territory
    Yukon Hotel Dawson City, Yukon Territory The year 1898 was a lucky time for businessman J.E. Binet. He was in Dawson City, at the start of the Klondike Gold Rush, and he was about to strike it rich. As word of the gold strike spread, Binet acted fast. He bought a lot on Front Street (now First Avenue), and drew up plans for a simple commercial building, perhaps a hotel or café. Binet's workers rushed to complete the job with the materials at hand. The Binet Block, as the building was called, was a narrow two storey building with large display windows at street level. A false third storey, with window and pediment, gave the structure a more substantial feel. There was milled lumber only for the front of the building; the sides and rear walls were of rough logs chinked with mud. The balcony was too shallow to be practical, but did add a touch of elegance. Binet's own plans for the building were put on hold. The demand for real estate was so great that he rented the Binet Block, even before it was completed in November 1898, to the Federal Government of Canada for office space. Commissioner Ogilvie of the new Yukon Territory agreed to the exorbitant rental of $1,000 a month! Although Binet himself never operated a hotel here, subsequent owners did. One owner named the building the Yukon Hotel after an earlier enterprise that had been destroyed by fire. For a while, the building was boarded up. Then the government of Canada, with encouragement from Dawson natives including Pierre Berton, decided it was worth saving.

  • Dawson Historical Complex National Historic Site Commemorative Integrity Statement
    Dawson CIS, September 3, 1997 1 Dawson Historical Complex National Historic Site Commemorative Integrity Statement National Historic Site Objectives National Historic Sites objectives are summarized in Parks Canada’s Guiding Principles and Operational Policies; * To foster knowledge and appreciation of Canada’s past through a program of historical commemoration. * To ensure the commemorative integrity of national historic sites administered by Parks Canada by protecting and presenting them for the benefit, education, and enjoyment of this and future generations, in a manner that respects the significant and irreplaceable legacy represented by these places and their associated resources. * To encourage and support the protection and presentation by others of places of national historic significance that are not administered by Parks Canada. Commemoration focuses on what is nationally significant about a site, and includes protection as well as presentation. The National Historic Sites Policy states that; protection and presentation are fundamental to commemoration since without protection there can be no historic site to be enjoyed, and without presentation there can be no under- standing of why the site is important to our history and, hence, to all Canadians. Dawson in the aftermath of spring breakup in 1925. The gold rush period streetscape, surrounding hills and Moosehide Slide are all prominent in this image. PC, Townsend Coll. 2 Dawson CIS, September 3, 1997 Definition and Purpose of Commemorative Integrity Commemorative integrity is used to describe the health or wholeness of a national historic site. A national historic site possesses commemorative integrity when the historic values and those cultural resources symbolizing or representing its importance are not impaired or under threat, when the reasons for the site’s national historic significance are effectively communicated to the public, and when the site’s heritage values are respected by all whose decisions or actions affect the site.

  • Dawson Walking Tour Nihè Dä̀hchʼe, Shò Trʼinląy Welcome
    Historic Sites DAWSON WALKING TOUR NIHÈ DÄ̀HCHʼE, SHÒ TRʼINLĄY WELCOME Exploring Dawson is a unique experience—a magical mix of past and present. Wooden boardwalks and false-front buildings stand as reminders of the settlement’s gold rush beginnings, while Indigenous citizens have used this land and these waterways for millennia. Today, Dawson is home to the self-governing First Nation Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, which means “People of the Klondike River” in the Hän language. Dawson also remains a key supply centre for mining and industrial activity on the nearby Klondike creeks. It also boasts lively arts scene, including a post-secondary art school, formed through a partnership between the First Nation, the Dawson City Art Society, and Yukon University. Many downtown buildings make up the Dawson Historical Complex, a National Historic Site that welcomes thousands of visitors each year. Follow this self-guided tour to explore the structures and spaces that illustrate the social life, First Nations history and cultural connections in this unique northern community. The tour is split into three sections: north, central and south Dawson. Each walk takes about 45 minutes. Enjoy! 1 A Brief History of Dawson For millennia, the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people moved with the seasons throughout their Traditional Territory, which includes the land that would become Dawson City. They followed animal and plant cycles for sustenance. At the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers is Tr’ochëk. It is one of a series of fish camps Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in used historically. People met there to fish, hunt, feast and trade.

The Alaska System Support Office provides central administrative support for these parks. The diversity of areas and their resources is reflected in their designation as national parks, monuments, preserves, and historical parks. These 15 areas represent more than 50% of the total acreage the National Park Service administers. The Alaska Field Area’s Cultural Resource Division works to inventory, evaluate, and preserve the cultural resources of the park areas and to bring an understanding of these resources to both the professional and lay public. The division, in cooperation with the park staffs, conducts ongoing studies of the area’s vast array of prehistoric, historic, and ethnographic sites to further that understanding and expand our limited knowledge of the 14,000-year human story in the Alaska parklands. Each year the division adds new information to the record of the many and varied peoples, both past and present, whose cultural legacies are embodied in the cultural resources of the parks. The National Park Service disseminates the results of inventories and surveys through the Resources Report series. Cultural resources documents in this technical series are prepared primarily for professional audiences and for internal use within the National Park Service. This information is not intended for wide public distribution.
