Eryn's Tips:
I am so sad to admit that I haven't managed to visit the Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre yet. Last time I went to Dawson, I tried to get tickets, but of course, the only day I was available was a Sunday, and they were closed! I have walked around the building many times, and it is absolutely stunning as well!
From the website, it looks like Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre has a great entrance film that discusses the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in history in the area, and they also have a large gift store with indigenous made goods. I am 100% making this a priority on my next trip to Dawson, and you should too!
