On maps this is labelled the Tatshenshini. The Tlingit name T\u00e0cha.\u00e0n-shah\u00eeni originally referred to the Blanchard River, a few kilometers upstream from Sh\u00e4wshe. The original Tlingit name for the Sh\u00e4wshe Ch\u00f9 was \u00c0\u0142s\u00eaxh and this is the source of the name \u2018Alsek\u2019 found on modern maps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sh\u00e4wshe Ch\u00f9 was a traditional hunting and fishing area of the Southern Tutchone Sh\u00e4wshe people. In spring time the people would gather at Sh\u00e4wshe from their winter hunting and trapping areas, from as far away as Hutshi and Aishihik and then go down the Sh\u00e4wshe Ch\u00f9 to meet the salmon. There were several salmon camps along the river going as far down as its confluence with the Titl\u2019\u00e0t T\u00e1g\u00e0\/Shadh\u00e4la Ch\u00f9 (Alsek River). Chilkat traders would sometimes meet the Southern Tutchone on the river on their way inland. Both Southern Tutchone and Chilkat Tlingit would go downriver to the coast to trade with the Tlingit at Dry Bay. The trip from Sh\u00e4wshe was difficult and took at least two months. The travelers returned not only with trade goods, but also with new dances, songs and stories to share with their people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Over a century ago there seems to have been permanent settlements on the lower Sh\u00e4wshe Ch\u00f9 with mixed Southern Tutchone-Tlingit populations. The coast people came looking for flint, met the Southern Tutchone, and began trading seal oil for furs and hides. These settlements were abandoned in the mid to late 1800\u2019s, perhaps as a result of disease epidemics. Some survivors moved upriver to join the Southern Tutchone of Sh\u00e4wshe, others joined the Tlingit in Chilkat or downriver in Dry Bay.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">For a while after the British Columbia border was established the Southern Tutchone lost hunting rights along most of Sh\u00e4wshe Ch\u00f9. This loss, the loss of the southern villages, and the move of most people to Shadh\u00e4la after Dalton\u2019s trading post closed, all contributed to a decline in activity in the area. Today only a few elders know much about the traditional use of the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most people who now travel the river are the tourists who make the white-water raft trips in summer from Sh\u00e4wshe to Dry Bay.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dugout Tatshenshini ferry at Dalton Post in 1899.
