Tsiigehnjik (Arctic Red) River

The Arctic Red River is home to the Gwich’in people, and the river still provides many of the basics of life for the community of Tsiigèhtchic.

Archaeological digs at the mouth of the river indicate that the Gwich’in utilized the Arctic Red as fishing grounds for centuries before Alexander Mackenzie first saw the river in 1789.
