Once a fishing and hunting camp for Tlingit and Tagish people, the community lies approximately halfway between Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse. The Gold Rush, the White Pass and Yukon Route railway which was completed in 1901, and a mining boom changed the community, and it is now home to about 400 people, half of whom are First Nations people. Tourism has replaced both mine and rail as the mainstay of the local economy. by editor funk 2000.03.23
