Champagne and Aishihik First Nations
Haines Junction

Located just off the Alaska Highway (74 kms north of Whitehorse), en route to Haines Junction, Long Ago Peoples Place is an authentic re-creation of a traditional First Nations Village. Their experienced guides will walk you through the forest and teach you about traditional structures and how they were built and utilized by their ancestors.

The experience will take you back in time when only wood, stone and animal parts were used to create everything our Southern Tutchone culture needed. From animal and fish traps, to housing and storage structures, you will learn and be amazed at the ingenuity that First Nation ancestors had to make life vibrant in the far north.

Facility rentals are available, including options to rent the entire camp for retreats, workshops or safe gatherings with limited people following COVID-19 safety measures. 

Open year-round (winter by appointment).
