MH front2 2010 01 19.jpg  Atlin is a small isolated  community in the NW corner of British Columbia, on the traditional lands of the Taku River Tlingits. Glacial-fed Atlin lake is 4 miles wide and 85 miles long, in a wide wilderness valley surrounded by snowcapped mountains.

Atlin is a 2 or 3 hour drive from Whitehorse Yukon or Skagway Alaska. Curent population is up to 400 full-time residents. During the Klondyke Gold Rush of 1898, the population was 10,000! Many buildings from that era still remain.

Though Mining and Tourism underpin the economy of Atlin, there is a large and very influential colony of artists, artisans and authors in this very special little-known community.

Atlin’s Taku Kwaan Dancers will be dancing for the world at the 2010 Olympics.
