This may have been the southern Yukon\u2019s oldest and most permanent village. The Southern Tutchone usually refer to it by its Tlingit name\u00a0<i>N\u00e8sghadi H\u00een\u00a0<\/i>\u2018water (goes) under rocks\u2019 which may mean the same thing as the Southern Tutchone name. The creek was bigger then and teeming with sockeye salmon. The small lake at the end of the creek where the fish spawn is called K\u2019\u0101 M\u01dfn \u2018Old Male Sockeye Lake\u2019 (Neskatahin Lake) after the k\u2019\u0101 or old male sockeye which have humps on their backs when they spawn. Southern Tutchone also came here from Hutshi and Aishihik to fish salmon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Sh\u00e4wshe people moved to lower Sh\u00e4wshe Ch\u00f9 (Tatshenshini) fishcamps in April to harvest salmon from May to the end of July when they returned to The T\u2019\u00e0t Ch\u00f9a to dry and cache fish and berries for the winter. Then they moved to \u0141u Gh\u0105 (Klukshu) to fish until freeze-up when some went back to The T\u2019\u00e0t Ch\u00f9a, others to Titl\u2019\u00e0t M\u01dfn (Dezadeash), Aishihik and Hutshi. In the winter the Southern Tutchone would disperse in small groups to hunt and trap on the land but return with their fur harvest to trade with the Chilkats for blankets, guns, powder, and tobacco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Sh\u00e4wshe people traded with the Chilkat Tlingit from the coast who came up the Klehini river. Large parties of Tlingit would come in February and in early summer to trade for a few days before going further inland, sometimes as far as Selkirk on the Yukon River. The trade visits involved much feasting, celebration and story-telling. Each Southern Tutchone would have one Tlingit trading partner. Both traders were from the same clan and the partnership was often reinforced by marriage. In this way, the clan system spread from the Tlingit to the Southern Tutchone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Southern Tutchone of Sh\u00e4wshe themselves served as middlemen with the interior. Before the war with the Upper Tanana people in the mid 1800\u2019s, the Southern Tutchone snowshoed to the Donjek River to get furs and copper from the Upper Tanana to trade with the Tlingit. By the 1890\u2019s some Sh\u00e4wshe people were going north on the well used trails to the Yukon River to trade with the non-natives there, rather than trading with the Tlingit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first white men to come here in the 1890\u2019s found Southern Tutchone living in houses made from planks with shingle roofs and wearing European clothing. Originally people lived in brush camp houses but began using imported axes and saws to build coastal style houses after the mid 1800\u2019s. By the 1890\u2019s there were about a dozen multi-family dwellings. Most Sh\u00e4wshe people moved to Champagne in 1902.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the 1910\u2019s, new clan houses with formal names were built here. Big potlatches were held to help with the construction and people came from as far away as Selkirk and Little Salmon. The Wolf K\u2019etlimbet clan built the Butterfly House (Paddy Duncan House) and the Crow Gh\u00e0naxht\u00e8d\u00ed built the Drum Sound House (Big Jim Fred House). A few years later, the Duncan and Fred families moved to \u0141u Gh\u0105 (Klukshu). The Butterfly house is the only old structure still standing in The T\u2019\u00e0t Ch\u00f9a today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">About half the village has been bull-dozed by mining activity. Around 15 structures remain as does the graveyard on the west side of the creek with about 30 graves.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Trade with the Tlingit was carried on long before the early 1800\u2019s when the fur trade began. The Southern Tutchone offered goat wool, yellow lichen for dying blankets, tanned hides, ground squirrel robes, spruce gum and raw copper. In return the Tlingit traded seaweed, grease from eulachon (a kind of fish), spruce root baskets, cedar boxes, dried clams, obsidian, crushed clamshells, and, from tribes farther south, abalone and dentalia shell for jewelry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neskatahin residents in modern clothing before a coast style plank house in 1898 (Yukon Archives 3869)","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":515,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
