Lake Dezadeash

Titl’àt Män, or Dezadeash Lake, lies at the head of the river that flows towards the Alsek and the Pacific. Southern Tutchone families maintained fishing camps along its shores. In spring, pairs of fishers speared fish through holes in the ice, while traps were set for whitefish in the outlet stream. Trails led south towards Klukshu, where salmon were dried and carried to caches for later journeys.
