Nä`chòo ndek

Nä’chòo ndek, the Stewart River, flows west across the Yukon interior to join the Yukon River. Its watershed is the homeland of the Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, Northern Tutchone people whose name refers to this great river. Families used the Stewart and its tributaries to reach fishing and hunting places: grayling were caught and dried in spring, salmon followed in summer, and winter journeys led into the mountains north of the river.
