Indian River (Yukon)

Dän Tàgé, best known as Indian River, is a tributary of the Yukon River in Yukon, Canada.[1] Its official name was changed to Dän Tàgé, meaning person (Dän) river (Tàgé).[2] The river is a gravel-bed stream located south of Dawson City. It forms the southern boundary of the Yukon placer gold district.[3] Indian River and its tributaries are the largest gold producers in the Yukon. In 2001, the river produced 119,999 grams (4,232.8 oz) of gold.[3] In 2008, Klondike Star Mineral Corporation announced plans to further develop the gold resources of the river.[4]
