3. Yukon History This brief history will introduce CarcrossTagish society. Like their coastal Tlingit neighbors and most other Yukon First Nations, Carcross-Tagish http://www.yesnet.yk.ca/schools/carcross/tlingit/tlingit.htm

The cultural background of the Carcross-Tagish people is a blend of both coast (Tlingit) and interior (Tagish, Athapaskan) Indian cultures. Some Carcross-Tagish families recognize their heritage as Tlingit, while others trace their ancestry to both Tagish and Tlingit peoples. Aboriginal trade and travel across the Chilkoot and neighboring passes played an important role in shaping the cultural heritage of the Carcross-Tagish people. This brief history will introduce Carcross-Tagish society. Their language and clan system, the heart of Carcross-Tagish culture, are briefly touched on. The name of the Carcross-Tagish First Nation reflects several things. First, it identifies the two communities which have been the home bases of the Carcross-Tagish people in recent times. Late 19th century studio photo of two coastal Tlingit men Tagish, located on the Tagish River between Tagish and Marsh Lake, was the main place where families gathered for trading and seasonal celebrations in the 19th century. The place name Tagish in the Tagish language refers to the sound of the break-up of river ice in the spring. Carcross, located on the narrows between Bennett and Nares Lake, is the community where most families have had their homes in the 20th century. The modern name for this settlement is a shortened version of Caribou Crossing, the name outsiders gave it at the turn of the century. The Tagish language name for this place is Todezane; the Tlingit name is Natase Hin.

Back to Watson Lake Information Main Page Yukon College, Watson Lake Photo: Earl Brown Early in 1897 , American (Lake Tahoe) Frank Watson at the age of 14 left California and headed north with his father to seek gold in the Klondike. They worked two claims on Bonanza Creek until sometime after the flood of 1903 when he headed to the Upper Liard River area. He was the first white man to travel over land to this area, most traveled on the rivers. He married Adela Stone and they settled on the shores of Fish Lake, later to be known as Watson Lake and led a life of a prospector and trapper. He moved his family a few miles north to Windid Lake as more people started to settle in the area. He died in 1938 after contracting pneumonia while in Lower Post. He died in route to Fort Saint John after being airlifted out on a mail plane. His children and grandchildren continue to be an intricate part of the Watson Lake community. Airport construction A cairn was erected in 1992 in dedication to the pilots who flew into the Watson Lake area during the war.
