Yukon First Nations

Yukon First Nations are Indigenous groups located in the Yukon Territory of Canada. They are comprised of various tribes, each with its own unique culture, language, and traditions. The Indigenous peoples of Yukon have a rich history and have played a significant role in shaping the region. In the 1990s, many Yukon First Nations negotiated land claims and self-government agreements with the federal and territorial governments, leading to greater autonomy and control over their territories, resources, and governance. These agreements recognize their rights and promote the preservation of their cultures and languages in contemporary society.
