La traite des pelleteries a d'abord fait connaître les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. L'or attira ensuite beaucoup de gens au Yukon, même si c'est à l'est de la rivière Klondike, près des Rocheuses, qu'on trouva les plus riches gisements. Aujourd'hui, le minerai est exploité et toute la région est reliée aux centres du Sud: ses terres, lacs, rivières et forêts promettent d'immenses richesses.
