Discovery Day!

On August 21, celebrate Discovery Day, an annual event in Yukon, Canada. The day has both historical and cultural significance. In 1896, Skookum Jim Mason, originally named Keish by his Tagish parents, discovered gold in the Bonanza Creek. The funny thing was that by 1899, the Bonanza Creek area dried up for gold and people moved on to other prospects in the Yukon.

This discovery triggered the Kluane gold rush in 1905, eventually establishing the Yukon as a Canadian territory.
