It is Yukon’s second world heritage site and consists of eight component parts: Fort Reliance, Chëdähdëk (Forty Mile), Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine, Chëdähdëk Tth’än K’et (Dënezhu Graveyard), Tr’ochëk, Dawson City, Jëjik Dhä Dënezhu Kek’it (Moosehide Village) and The zra̧y Kek’it (Black City). These sites demonstrate the long-standing presence of Indigenous people in the area, the early interaction between Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in ancestors and newcomers leading up to and including the Klondike Gold Rush.

Each component tells the story of subsequent phases of the relationship between Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and the non-Indigenous newcomers who began arriving in the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in’s territory in the latter decades of the nineteenth century. Tr’ondëk-Klondike tells a story of Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in experiences and responses to colonialism in their homeland between 1874 and 1908. All of the component sites, except for Dawson City, are on Trondëk Hwëch’in settlement lands or co-managed lands.
