The Wassillie Trefon Dena'ina Fish Cache is a historically important fish cache (backcountry food storage structure) that is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for this designation partly because it was a uniquely well-preserved example of traditional Dena'ina Athabascan fish-caching buildings in the vicinity of Lakes Clark and Iliamna. It is about in dimension, and is set on poles that are intended to be difficult for animals to climb. It was built without nails or spikes. Read more on Wikipedia
