It is reported that remnants of caribou fences can still be found along the lake&#8217;s rugged shoreline. Mrs. Annie Ned recounted that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><em>Before Coast Indians, before guns, they had ranch for moose at Lake Arkell (Kusawa). They got corral there, set snares. Tehn everybody came there- lots of meat. lots of fish. They helped together.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Southern Tutchone tradition says that there was a great flood sometime after the creation of the world. The people tried to escape on rafts. Southern Tutchone Elders say that the remains of one of these rafts can be found on top of Dha\u0308l Sha\u0308w, a mountain near the head of this lake.<\/p>\n<p>The name Kusawa comes from Tlingit Ku\u0300sawu.a\u0304 &#8216;narrow lake&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Kusawa Lake had provided a natural pathway for the Tlingit in their trade with the interior people for centuries. The first published record of it seems to be from the early 1880\u2019s in a report on the travels of Arthur Krause of the Bremen Geographical Society who visited the lake in June, 1882. Earlier, in 1869, the Tlingit Chief Kohklux drew a \u2018long skinny lake\u2019 he called\u00a0<i>Koo=see=wagh<\/i>\u00a0that emptied into the\u00a0<i>Tahk-heena<\/i>\u00a0River on a map he and his wives sketched for George Davidson from California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the 1890\u2019s, Jack Dalton used the existing trails to establish his pack trail from Dezadeash Lake, up Kusawa Lake to the Takhini river.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Kusawa Lake is now one of the most favoured recreational spots in the Southwest Yukon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nakhu\u0328\u0304 M\u01dfn- Kusawa Lake","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":505,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
