The article discusses a new art exhibit and video series in Whitehorse that aims to explore the Indigenous significance of the Chilkoot Trail, a historic trail known for its association with the Klondike Gold Rush. The project, called “Precious Places,” was produced by the Carcross/Tagish First Nation in partnership with Parks Canada.

The video series features stories and perspectives from the Indigenous community, aiming to provide a different viewpoint from the commonly promoted settler and gold rush narratives. Gary Sidney Johnson, a member of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation, composed music for the series after hiking the traditional trail and being inspired by the experience.
