Tombstone - START

TOMBSTONE PARK - START

November 1, 1999

The City of Dawson has commissioned five ivory carvings to be set by a jeweler as broaches or pins.

This broach will represent the new park formed just north of Dawson on the Dempster Highway, Tombstone Park. The formation of the park is a first in the Yukon and is an effort to begin to preserve for all time key bioregions in the Yukon. Kudos to the Yukon Government for concluding an historic and farsighted arrangement!

Within the park, the Porqupine Caribou Herd has part of its wintering grounds, so I will try to carve a caribou in the foreground.

Till next time,

Shane
