Named after 4 of the larger lakes in Yukon because they were born on the 110th anniversary and shortly after our 20th Anniversary.. So we choose this theme.......... Even though June 13th was on Friday this year......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukon

Joined the Canadian Confederation June 13, 1898 (9th)

Most of the territory is in the watershed of its namesake, the Yukon River. The southern Yukon is dotted with a large number of large, long and narrow glacier-fed alpine lakes, most of which flow into the Yukon River system.

The larger lakes include Teslin Lake, Atlin Lake, Tagish Lake, Marsh Lake, Lake Laberge, Kusawa Lake,and Kluane Lake. Bennett Lake on the Klondike Gold Rush trail is a lake flowing into Nares Lake, with the greater part of its area within the Yukon.

Kusawa

Kusawa (KUsawa "windy water") - FEMALE - STAYING HERE

As with many place names in the Yukon, Lake Kusawa had more than one name over time. Located just 40 air miles west of Whitehorse, this beautiful high mountain lake is a delight to travel, unless big winds blow in from the north.

This lake in the southwestern Yukon is 45 miles long by about 3-4 miles wide. As a high mountain lake, it can quickly become very windy, sometimes with little warning. This happened to a friend and me as we fished the lake for trout back in the 70s. Caught totally off guard on an otherwise sunny Sunday afternoon, our boat came close to capsizing as we rocked and rolled on the water while the sun shone bright above.

The Lake was known to the Chilcat Indians as Kusawa ... windy water ... and was described as such to an International Surveyor, Dr. George Armstrong by the Chilkat chief Kho-Klux in 1869.

Teslin Lake
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008

Teslin Lake , narrow lake, 80 mi (129 km) long, NW British Columbia and S Yukon Territory, Canada, SE of Whitehorse. It receives the Nisutlin River and is drained by the Teslin River, one of the headwaters of the Yukon River.

The first known permanent settlement was in 1903 when a trading post was established to serve the Tlingit Indians. Teslin's economy is still based on traditional hunting, trapping and fishing, although tourism is playing an increasingly important role. Native crafts, canoes, snowshoes and art are being produced by the locals. Today Teslin is a bustling little community with a surprising number of things to do and wonderful friendly people. Gold seekers who came up the Stikine River from Wrangell, Alaska, travelled 150 miles overland from Telegraph Creek to the headwaters of Teslin Lake where they constructed crude boats. They sailed over the lake and down the Teslin and Yukon Rivers to Dawson City and the gold fields.

Atlin

Atlin (Áa Tleen “Big Lake”) - MALE - GOING TO NEW HOME IN SPRING

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlin_Lake

Atlin Lake is a lake in northwestern British Columbia and is that province's largest natural lake. The northern tip of the lake is in the Yukon, as is Little Atlin Lake. However, most of the lake lies within the Stikine Region of British Columbia. Atlin Lake is considered the source of the Yukon River and flows into Tagish Lake.

The name comes from Áa Tlein, the Tlingit word for "big body of water".

The community of Atlin, British Columbia is located on the eastern shore of the lake and the southern part of the lake is in the Atlin Provincial Park and Recreation Area.

Tagish

Tagish (Ta-gish "it (spring ice) is breaking up" or "fish trap")
- MALE - STAYING HERE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagish_Lake

Tagish Lake is a lake in the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia, Canada. The lake is more than 100 km (60 miles) long and about 2 km wide.

It has two arms, the Taku Arm in the east which is very long and mostly in British Columbia and Windy Arm in the west, mostly in the Yukon. The Klondike Highway runs along Windy Arm south of Carcross. Bennett Lake flows into Tagish Lake, so the northern portion of Tagish Lake was part of the route to the Klondike used by gold-seekers during the Klondike Gold Rush.

On January 18, 2000, a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite now known as the Tagish Lake meteorite, fell on the frozen surface of the Taku Arm. A number of fragments were recovered and studied by researchers from U of C, UWO, and NASA; the meteorite currently resides in the University of Alberta meteorite collection.

The lake is named for the Tagish people. Tagish means fish trap in the old Tagish language, an Athabascan language.[1] [2] Other sources translate Tagish as "it (spring ice) is breaking up" .[3]

Tagish is also home to the Southern Lakes with trophy fishing.

Tagish has Swans that come every spring to wait out the opening of the more Northern Lakes.
