urwash Landing is the traditional home of the Southern Tutchone people of the Kluane First Nation. The present location was first used as a summer camp by the Tutchone

until a trading post was built in the early 1900s by the Jacquot brothers. This enabled many of the First Nation people to build more permanent homes in the area, which is now the administrative centre for the Kluane First Nations. 2021 is Burwash Landing’s 117th anniversary celebration.
