History of Charley Village

Former Indian village of which Lieutenant Schwatka (1885b, p. 41and42), USA, wrote, on the 23d of July (1883) we reached another Indian village, called Charley's Village, which is the exact counterpart of the one called Johnny's, even to the number of houses (6) * * *. We met a Canadian voyageur among them who calls them and Johnny's village the Tadoosh Indians, and says they are the most friendly and best natured Indians on this part of the river." Archdeacon Stuck (1917, p. 82) stated that the village was named for a Chief Charley." The village stood until the high water of the 1914 ice breakup when it was washed away, and the natives moved to Circle.
