Waterway Written on verso: Indian war canoe race at Victoria, B.C.
Western "war canoeing" as a recreational activity was mimicked
and appropriated by Canadian settlers in Vancouver in the late 19th century and
became immensely popular, especially after large gatherings of Native peoples
were outlawed in 1922. It continues to be one of the most enduring "Canadian"
watersports, though leagues and clubs often remain separated from Native
canoeing communities and practices.

Postcard of a drawing,The
Evolution of a Sourdough, showing the physical evolution of a typical
Alaska Gold Rush miner over a 12 month period. The drawing depicts a man at
arrival in the Klondike in suit and tie, then 2 months later with a beard, four
months later with long hair, six months later with longer beard and hair, nine
months later with hair and beard obscuring most of his face, and twelve months
later as a pot of sourdough. During the California Gold Rush of 1848-1855, French bakers
brought sourdough breadmaking techniques to Northern California. This sourdough
tradition was carried into Alaska and the western Canadian territories during
the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, where experienced miners and other settlers
frequently carried a pouch of sourdough "starter" either around their neck or
on a belt. Old hands came to be called "sourdoughs", a term that is still
applied to any Alaskan old-timer.

Government Building until 1953.

associated with the establishment of a federal presence in the Northwest and
the exercise of Canadian sovereignty. The Courthouse is one of two remaining
examples of early territorial courthouses in Western Canada built by the
federal government. Valued for its very good aesthetics and its good functional
design, the Courthouse is an excellent and rare example of a
turn-of-the-century courthouse executed in wood. It is also one of the best
examples of the work of architect Thomas Fuller prior to his becoming Chief
Architect of the Department of Public Works.

Bird's-eye view of Dawson, with the Moosehide Slide on
the left The landslide at the center of Dawson is called
Ëddhä̀dä̀dhëchą in Hän (Han Hwëch'in), meaning a "weathered moosehide hanging",
which provides the English translation "moosehide". Not caused due to mining
activity, the landslide has featured prominently in the lifeways of people of
Tr'ochëk, a historical Hwëch'in community which laid across from modern-day
Dawson, and in the people of the Tr'ondëk (Klondike) at large, since time
immemorial.
