01 12/10/1998 The unthinkable is now a real possibility. Yukon salmon stocks are disappearing, on the
Yukon river and the Alsek. Gord Loverin looks at the implications for aboriginal food
fisheries that have for generations, taken these salmon for granted. Entire villages, like
Klukshu, exist only because of this seasonal food source. This year the first nation has
told it’s members to stay away, as the fishery is closed. Meanwhile, international
negotiations with Alaskans, treaty talks aimed at sharing this dwindling resource, have
broken off.
02 19/10/1998 He’s the most popular artist in the territory. He knows more about the Yukon than most
northern historians. Everyone’s seen his watercolours. But nobody knows anything
about him, this reclusive eccentric, curator of Yukon history, and creator of Yukon
folklore . Mike Rudyk’s profile of Jim Robb coincides with Robb’s latest book launch,
and a huge private birthday party thrown by his friends.
03 26/10/1998 Yukoners drink lots. We used to brag about it, actually flaunt it on the street, until public
drinking was banned in the mid 80’s. Delores Smith looks at what alcohol has done to
one Yukon family, from an abusive childhood, foster homes, gang rapes, and murder, to
their recent celebration of sobriety, and their continuing battle with ‘the bottle’.
04 02/11/1998 High School just isn’t what it used to be. Nedaa’s newest producer Sharon Shorty goes
back to FH Collins Secondary School to look at the Media, Arts, and Drama program
that has Yukon teens dancing and acting out their hollywood dreams.
05 09/11/1998 A 3 part series examining the history and current status of Native spirituality in the
Yukon....the Anglican missionaries were here first and ‘converted’ many through their
Indian Mission Schools. Catholics and Baptists soon followed with limited success, but
today ‘new’ religions, like Bahai and Pentecostal, are drawing the largest congregations
of First Nation worshippers, while a new movement of Native Spiritualists is advocating
a return to a traditional view, which includes elders teachings like ‘ How Crow created
the world’. (Also available as a one-hour episode.)

08 30/11/1998 A Yukon perspective on Bill C-68, the new federal firearms legislation, and how it’s
being received by Yukoners. In short, it has unified northerners like never before, as
Yukoners of every political stripe are planning to boycott or obstruct the new laws as
they come into force.
09 07/12/1998 The Yukon’s largest mine is closed again, this time for good, and there are no new jobs
on the economic horizon. At the same time the Yukon’s NDP government is tightening
its budgets, forcing workers and private companies to look outside the territory for
employment opportunities.
10 14/12/1998 Wood Bison were re-introduced to the Yukon by transplant about 10 years ago. Now the
herd has grown to levels where it’s threatening natural wildlife populations and must be
controlled by hunters. For the average ‘sport hunter’, it’s the hunting opportunity of a
lifetime, but First Nation hunters insist they have a preferred right to a portion of the
annual harvest, a claim that is dividing Yukoners along racial lines
