Kaska Forest

The forested mountains between the Pelly and upper Liard rivers form part of the homeland of the Kaska Dena. Families travelled through this rugged country in seasonal rounds, hunting and gathering across river valleys and high ground. Some journeyed to the Pelly when salmon returned, while others hunted along the Liard and its tributaries. The Ross and Pelly confluence was a meeting place for travellers crossing between these watersheds.
