Moosehide (Hän: Ëdhä Dädhëchan) was an Indian reserve of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation or Dawson band in the Canadian territory of Yukon between about 1906 and the early 1960s.[3] Located near a tradiitonal salmon-fishing ground, Moosehide was first occupied about 9,000 years ago.[4] Starting the mid-1800s, and accelerating the Klondike Gold Rush, European settles arrived in the area and began to settle in and around Dawson City. The Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in were forced to relocate, first just to the south of Dawson and in 1897 to Moosehide.[3] The St. Barnabas Church was built by the Anglican Church of Canada in 1908. A cemetery with about 200 burials (the oldest from 1898) is located behind the church.[3] Moosehide is also the site of the cabin of Chief Isaac, who was the leader of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in during the Klondike Gold Rush.[5] At the time of the 1911 census, 'Moose Hide' was a village, with a recorded population of 125.[6]
The Moosehide Village site (Jëjik Dhä Dënezhu Kek’it) became part of the Tr’ondëk-Klondike UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023, because of its depiction of the adaptions made by the indigenous people to European colonization and its historical and cultural importance for the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in.[5]
