Moosehide

Moosehide (Hän: Ëdhä Dädhëchan) is a traditional village of the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin First Nation in the Canadian territory of Yukon between about 1906 and the early 1960s.

[3] Located near a traditional salmon-fishing ground, Moosehide was first occupied about 9,000 years ago.

The Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in were forced to relocate, first just to the south of Dawson and in 1897 to Moosehide.

[3] Moosehide is also the site of the cabin of Chief Isaac, who was the leader of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in during the Klondike Gold Rush.

[6] The Moosehide Village site (Jëjik Dhä Dënezhu Kek’it) became part of the Tr’ondëk-Klondike UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023, because of its depiction of the adaptions made by the indigenous people to European colonization and its historical and cultural importance for the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in.
