August autumn

"Nuchu kwadele; kwajadak'aw." (s.t.)
It's becoming fall; it's getting cold.
Mist rising off Schwatka Lake this morning.
Schwatka Lake is a reservoir that was created when a section of the Yukon River just south of old Whitehorse proper was dammed in 1958.  The resulting lake was named for  U.S. Army Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka who is attributed with being the first non-aboriginal to explore the total length of the Yukon River.
"K'uh kwanli" (s.t.)
It's cloudy.
Grey Mountain is in the background, the original Southern Tutchone name for Grey Mountain is "The Ma".
