[3] There is a weather station for Klondike located along the Dempster Highway, near the southern entrance of Tombstone Territorial Park, at an elevation of 973 m (3192 ft).

The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people have continuously occupied the Klondike region for over 9000 years, and UNESCO has stated this was "fundamentally transformed during the colonial occupation of these lands.

"[1] European traders began to arrive in the region in the mid 19th century, and in 1874, the first trading post in the Klondike (Fort Reliance) was established.

[3] This act and the discovery of precious metals in the area led to a steady increase in the arrival of colonists during the 1880s, and in 1893, the first permanent non-Indigenous settlement was founded at Ch’ëdähdëk (Forty Mile), at the site of an ancient indigenous hunting spot.

[7][8] The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in were forced to relocate downriver to an ancestral camp called Moosehide, where it became the center of the Indigenous community until the 1950s.

It contains archaeological and historic sources that reflect Indigenous people’s adaptation to unprecedented changes caused by the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century.
