Tr'ochëk became part of the Tr’ondëk-Klondike UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023 because of its unique testimony to the transformation of the Klondike landscape from Indigenous to colonial use.
Tr'ochëk was used as a fishing ground at several different times, with the oldest archaeological evidence dating from 1500-1700 CE. In the late 19th century Tr'ochëk was the camp of Chief Isaac, the leader of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in during the Klondike Gold Rush. The Tr'onëek people used this site primarily in the summer, hunting moose in the flats across the Klondike and fishing for salmon during their migration up the Yukon.
