20 Locating First Nation Lands on Which You Must Have Consent to Hunt The map in this booklet shows the larger blocks of Category A Settlement Lands. You must have consent, in writing, to hunt on these lands. Smaller blocks, and all other First Nation lands, are marked on detailed maps which can be viewed at the local First Nation’s office, or viewed on-line and downloaded from: www.environmentyukon.ca/maps/view/nav/2/15/. Printed maps can also be purchased from Environment Yukon’s office at 10 Burns Road, Whitehorse for $10 + GST. It’s a good idea to check these maps when planning your hunt destination. Your rights u You have a right to cross Category A and Category B Settlement Lands to hunt on the far side. u Except when hunting bison and elk, you have a right to hunt on undeveloped Category B Settlement Lands without proof of consent from the local First Nation, subject to the responsibilities described here and the general hunting laws. u Where a waterfront right-of-way lies on Category A Settlement Lands you have a right to hunt waterfowl, but no other wildlife, in the right-of-way, subject to the responsibilities described here and the general hunting laws. This does not apply to the few cases where there is no waterfront right-of-way. These few locations are mapped in the annual Fishing Regulations Summary. u When hunting by boat on a navigable waterway bordering on First Nation land, you have a right to hunt wildlife standing on gravel bars, other parts of the shoreline below the high water mark, or islands which are not part of First Nation land, subject to the responsibilities described here and the general hunting laws. Please check the detailed maps at Environment Yukon offices to determine the exact boundary between First Nation land and the navigable waterbody where you plan to hunt. Your responsibilities u When using First Nation land you must NOT: u damage the land or structures, u commit acts of mischief, or u interfere with the use and enjoyment of the land by the First Nation. A person who does any of these things is considered to be a trespasser. u When planning a hunting trip, you must find out whether or not your destination is on First Nation land. First check the map included with this booklet, then check the detailed maps available through Environment Yukon. (See: Locating FN Lands... above.) u When using First Nation land within the limits of public access rights you must comply with any laws set by the First Nation for the purpose of managing the land and resources. The best way to ensure compliance is to contact a First Nation before using their land. For More Information Contact one of the First Nations listed above, your local Environment Yukon Office or the Environment Yukon Land Claim Section at (867) 667-5995; outside Whitehorse call toll free 1-800-661-0408, extension 5995.
