Connect with Yukon’s First Nations today<br />
First Nations may be a new term for many visitors. It is used<br />
throughout Canada in place of Aboriginals, Natives or Indians.<br />
It recognizes First Nations as distinct nations and as the First<br />
Peoples of this land.<br />
Yukon First Nations have a long and close relationship to the land.<br />
There are 14 First Nations in the Yukon, each with a unique and<br />
vibrant culture and each representing one of eight different languages.<br />
As you travel, inquire about unique local First Nations events<br />
such as Aboriginal Day celebrations and the Adäka Cultural Festival.<br />
Please respect the traditional sites and activities such as fish camps<br />
that you may come across. Take your time. Ask questions and,<br />
sometimes, just listen. Embrace our history and culture as you<br />
find it—and it finds you.<br />
