"In 1927 Paddy Duncan of Champagne and Klusku found gold [in] this stream and named it Squaw Creek. In 1936 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. The creek had been called Dollis Creek by miners around 1898 but had been long abandoned when Duncan renamed it." (Robert Coutts, Yukon Places and Names, Gray's Publishing Ltd, Sidney, 1980); "...the name is Dollis Creek in the Yukon..." (January 2001 letter from Superintendent, Kluane National Park, file T.3.54)
