Ta'an Kwäch'än

The Ta’an Kwäch’än are Southern Tutchone people whose homeland centres on Tàa’an Män, Lake Laberge. Families gathered at Shallow Bay for the autumn whitefish spawn and travelled along the Yukon and Teslin rivers at other times of year. At T’äw Tà’är on the Teslin, trails led west to the lake and east towards the Big Salmon River. These routes carried people visiting relatives, trading and travelling to hunt or fish.

The later city of Whitehorse lies here.
