Dentiah Old Chief (1802 – 1929)

A party of Klondike stampeders met a group of Kaska people and gave them English names. The oldest man in the group was called Dentiah, or Old Chief. He and his son had helped to build the Hudson's Bay Co, post at Pelly Banks. Dentiah’s brother was Old Doctor, Alfred Caesar’s brother. Dentiah died at Frances Lake and claimed to be 127 years old.¹⁾
