Tr’ochëk National Historic Site

Parks Canada continues to work with the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation (THFN) in planning the development and presentation of this national historic site. THFN, with the support of Parks Canada, released “Hammerstones : A History of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in” an illustrated book which has proven popular with both citizens and visitors to Dawson. The 2001 publication, “Tr'ochëk : The Archaeology and History of a Han Fish Camp”, was developed into a week long Grade 4 social studies unit by the Yukon Department of Education and had its first successful classroom run in 2003. The Tr'ochëk Heritage Site Steering Committee also completed and forwarded the Site Management Plan to the First Nation and Government of Canada for approval.
