Unfortunately, at this point at the latest, it was clear that we would have to end the tour soon. The two women in the team brought such a poor mood in the team that there was no other solution than to end the tour in Fort Yukon!

The grave of the Indian Chief Shahnyaati . He died in 1892 and was said to have had 20 wives and 100 children. Shortly before his death he said to to his wife, when I die you will see a rainbow, bury me in this place. So it happened. Until today the people here have great respect for the chief, his grave has been repaired again and again. In the old days the paddle steamer captains always blown the ship's horn to greet the Chief!
Unfortunately we had to see that the people did not prepare his grave any more, from the river it was hardly to be seen...
