Campbell, a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) employee, attempted to develop a trade partnership with the Northern Tutchone. Feeling undermined, the coastal Chilkat Tlingit, Northern Tutchone's primary trade partner, looted and vandalized Fort Selkirk in August 1852. Fort Selkirk likely burned down several years later.Additional information:Custodial history:Received in 1929 from W.
