Kwäday Dän Ts’inchi has an important place in British Columbia’s history, and is helping to change the way that we look at what life was like here before European contact.The man, whose name translates into Long Ago Person Found, lived in the northwestern area of what we now call British Columbia, in the 17th, 18th or 19th centuries.His body was found by hunters on a glacier in Tatshenshini-Alsek Park in 1999. It is considered to be the oldest body with well-preserved soft tissue ever found in North America.

Kwäday Dän Ts’inchi carried evidence, through his possessions as well as the food in his stomach, that he had travelled between the coast and the Interior.
