Tse'k'wa National Historic Site

Tse’k’wa, which means “Rock House” in Dane-zaa/Beaver language, has been a place for the Dane-zaa people to meet, share, rest, and celebrate for over 12,000 years. This site is the result of a unique collaboration between three Dane-ẕaa Nations: Doig River First Nation, Prophet River First Nation, and West Moberly First Nations. Through combined Indigenous knowledge and western science, Tse’k’wa connects the past, present, and future. Go on an exciting journey of shared history that builds respect for the land’s First Peoples. From walking the trail to learning about wild plants in our healing garden, there are many ways to connect with the land and learn about the Dane-zaa and their vibrant culture. Admission to Tse’k’wa is free but donations are always welcome. The site is open for self-guided tours year-round with staff hours varying.
