About Yukon ›› History and Culture History and Culture Relic from another era near Fort Selkirk The Original Inhabitants First Nations people established permanent settlements, some of which remain today as modern-day towns. Newcomers The First Modern Economy Spiritual Impacts A Modern Legend: The Yukon Gold Rush In 1896, three prospectors struck it rich in the Yukon. George Carmack, Skookum Jim , and Dawson Charlie found a rich deposit of gold in Bonanza Creek. This discovery inspired thousands of would-be prospectors to head north and turned Dawson City into the largest city west of Winnipeg by the turn of the century. It was during this time, in 1898, that the Yukon earned its current political status. Easy Access: The Alaska Highway Most prospectors who headed north to the Gold Rush had to make an arduous trek up the Chilkoot Trail More than 30,000 US Army personnel were involved in the construction of the Alaska Highway, which was built to transport war supplies. This road stretches over 2,230 kilometres from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaska Highway forever changed the culture, economy, and political system of the Yukon. First Nations people drifted away from their traditional riverside communities to the highway. Boats and trains were replaced by the more efficient road system.

26. Dawson City - More Than Gold Dawson City More than Gold articles and stories http://www.trailcanada.com/yukon/dawson/features/dawson_city_more_than_gold/

Hello Guest [ Sign In ] or [ Join now Newsletter Forum Search ... Features Dawson City - More than Gold By Susan Huebert Trail Canada Mention Dawson City, Yukon, and the first thought in many people’s minds will be the gold rush. The town no longer has fevered gold-seekers setting up camp like in the 1890s, but traces of the Klondike history still mingle with the new economy, with museums and historic buildings providing links to the past, while theatres, hiking trails, and much more provide a wide variety of activities for travellers. A visit to Dawson City takes visitors back to the past, showing them the sights and sounds of one of the territory’s most famous towns and the changing fortunes that turned the once-booming city into the small but dynamic place it now is. Literary inspiration is only part of Dawson City’s cultural attraction. The Dawson City Music Festival, the Klondike River Arts Festival, and the Dawson City Film Festival complement the attractions of a writer-in-residence program, frequent poetry readings and talent shows, and art displays. The Jack London Cabin and Interpretive Centre recreates the winter of 1897, when the author of Call of the Wild mingled with miners. Historic photographs are also on display. Similar exhibits are at the Robert Service cabin; although the poet moved to Dawson city after the gold rush, his famous poem, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” vividly portrays the spirit of the era. A more comprehensive picture of Dawson City in the late 1800s comes in the Dawson City Museum, where extensive genealogical materials can help tourists trace ancestors who visited the area. The Old Post Office is a good place to experience life at the turn of the twentieth century and to buy a package of commemorative stamps. Built at a time when people believed the north would continue to grow, the post office has stayed active despite Dawson City’s shrinking population. The town became a National Historic Site in 1960, and much of it history has been preserved in the buildings and displays around the town. The gold prospecting history is especially popular. Dredge No. 4 just a short drive up Bonanza Creek shows what the prospecting life was like, while visitors can pan for gold themselves at Claim 33. The gold rush will never be as real for visitors as it is in Dawson City.

OpenCube - The Internets #1 CSS Menu, Drop Down Menu, Flyout Menu, and Pop Up menu Developer History of the Yukon and it's People - Read about the Yukon History - Yukon First Nations elders and people have many stories and legends about the creation of earth and the first human inhabitants. These stories have been passed down from generation to generation, and are an important part of the Yukon First Nations culture. Along with these stories, archaeologists theorize that the first people crossed a land bridge from Asia to northern Canada during the Pleistocene Ice Age between 10,000 to 25,000 years ago. This link between continents was estimated to be 2,400 kilometres wide. The growth of glaciers lowered sea levels and exposed portions of continental shelves which created this broad land bridge. Parts of northern Alaska and Yukon remained ice-free during the last ice age and provided a haven for many animals and humans fleeing from colder regions. Archaeologists suggest early inhabitants of the Yukon hunted woolly mammoths, bison, horses and caribou. They lived in small family groups which travelled with the animals. The earliest evidence of human activity was found in caves on the Bluefish River near Old Crow in northern Yukon. Stone tools and animal bones found at this site were estimated to be 20,000 years old.
