TR’ONDËK-KLONDIKE REGION EARNS PLACE
ON UNESCO’S PRESTIGIOUS WORLD HERITAGE LIST
The Tr’ondëk-Klondike region, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlights
its significant cultural and historical value. This honor underlines the area’s deep
heritage, including the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation’s ancestral traditions and
distinctive natural scenery.
“Tr’ondëk-Klondike provides us with another opportunity to tell our story – the
story of Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and our continual stewardship of this land since time
immemorial. In this nomination we honour our ancestors who stewarded the
land before us, and we look to the future, with the knowledge that these special
places will be respected by generations to come.”
- Hähkè Darren Taylor, Chief of Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in
