  • A Guidebook for Native Language Instructors
    A Guidebook for Native Language Instructors Developed by: Collyne Bunn Doug Hitch Jo-Anne Johnson John Ritter Gertie Tom Margaret Workman Ted Harrison Evelyn Kirkaldy Second Edition Whitehorse, Yukon, 2003 Foreword to the Second Edition Since its original publication in 1980, Teaching Yukon Native Languages: A Guidebook for Native Language Instructors, has been used extensively in Native Language classrooms not only in the Yukon, but also in Alaska, the Northwest Territories, British Columbia and Alberta. The Yukon Native Language Centre has received many positive comments on the usefulness of this guide from instructors in the field. The pioneering effort has served as the model for other guides such as the three Carrier versions developed by the Yinka Dene Language Institute (Teaching Athapaskan Languages: A Guidebook for Native Language Instructors, 1990). Also since 1980, the conversation examples throughout the guide have been translated and recorded in all Yukon languages, and usually in several dialects. Twenty-six versions of the conversational Language Lessons are available as booklet and tape sets from the Yukon Native Language Centre. Besides versions in the Yukon languages Gwich'in, Hän, Upper Tanana, Northern Tutchone, Southern Tutchone, Kaska, Tagish and Tlingit, there are also versions from Lower Tanana, Upper Tanana, and Tanacross from Alaska. These local dialect booklets and tapes increase the effectiveness of the Guidebook. Beginning in 2002, the same material, both text and sound, as well as new colour images, has begun to appear on the Centre's web site as the Centre makes use of new technologies to improve native language teaching and documentation. The original version of the Guidebook was developed by Collyne Bunn, John Ritter and Gertie Tom of the Yukon Native Languages Project, which has evolved into the Yukon Native Language Centre.

  • Indigenous Water Governance, Ontologies, and the Politics Of
    Article Nature and Space Environment and Planning E: Nature and Respecting water: Space 0(0) 1–23 ! The Author(s) 2018 Indigenous water Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav governance, ontologies, DOI: 10.1177/2514848618789378 and the politics of kinship journals.sagepub.com/home/ene on the ground Nicole J Wilson University of British Columbia, Canada Jody Inkster University of Alberta/Yukon College, Canada Abstract Indigenous peoples often view water as a living entity or a relative, to which they have a sacred responsibility. Such a perspective frequently conflicts with settler societies’ view of water as a ‘‘resource’’ that can be owned, managed, and exploited. Although rarely articulated explicitly, water conflicts are rooted in ontological differences between Indigenous and settler views of water. Furthermore, the unequal water governance landscape created by settler colonialism has perpetuated the suppression of Indigenous ways of conceptualizing water. This paper thus examines the ‘‘political ontology’’ of water by drawing on insights from the fields of critical Indigenous studies, post-humanism, and water governance. Additionally, we engage a case study of four Yukon First Nations (Carcross/Tagish, Kluane, Tr’onde¨kHwe¨ch’in, and White River First Nations) in the Canadian North to examine their water ontologies through the lens of a politics of kinship including ideas about ‘‘respecting water.’’ We also examine the assumptions of settler- colonial water governance in the territory, shaped by modern land claims and self-government agreements. We close by discussing the implications of Indigenous water ontologies for alternate modes of governing water. Keywords Indigenous law, indigenous water governance, ontological politics, Yukon First Nations, Yukon, Canada Introduction We respect not only the water we utilize, we respect the land around it because it feeds into the water.

Photo courtesy of Northern Climate ExChange Foreword The Kluane First Nation is made up of strong and inspired people, who have lived in their Traditional Territory since time immemorial. Their Territory spans an area between the White River to the north, and the Slims River to the south; and from the St. Elias Mountains to the west, to the Ruby Ranges to the east. We have seen many changes on the land and in our community - from the establishment of the Alaska Highway, to the inception of the Kluane First Nation Government; all the while, we remain present with the land. Today, we are witnessing changes in our climate that are reflected on the land, and so we must take action to address the needs of our future generations.

This council was to be entirely composed of persons appointed by the Governor in Council. In 1899 the Parliament of Canada amended the Act to increase the size of the council by adding two elected members to it. A further amendment in 1902 added three more elected members to the council. In 1908 the Act was again amended to provide for an entirely elected council of 10 members. Prior to the 1978 general election, Members were elected to the territorial council or legislative assembly as independent members. Some, however, had known federal political affiliations. That is what is noted in the ‘Party’ column for those members elected prior to 1978.

  • Differences Between Self-Governing First Nations and Indian Act Bands
    QS-Y347-004-BB-A1 Differences between Self-Governing First Nations and Indian Act Bands. Many of Canada’s First Nation communities are still governed by the Indian Act, and are referred to as Bands. This means that their reserve lands, monies, other resources and governance structure are managed by the provisions in the Indian Act. In the Yukon however, the majority of First Nations are self-governing. Self-Governing Yukon First Nations direct their own affairs, and for the most part, the Indian Act no longer applies to them, their Citizens, or to settlement land. The following is a brief comparison of the differences between Indian Act Bands and Self-Governing Yukon First Nations. Indian Act Bands: Only three Yukon First Nations remain under the Indian Act. The Indian Act applies to members of a Band, who have “status.” Land that is provided for use and benefit of the Band cannot be owned by the Band or individual members. Core funding for the Band is determined by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The Band government is accountable to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Self‑Governing Yukon First Nations There are eleven Self-Governing Yukon First Nations. The Indian Act no longer applies to the First Nation or its Citizens (although individual citizens may still be entitled to “status” under the Act). The First Nation’s land is owned and managed by the First Nation government. The First Nation sets its own priorities and its election process is defined by its Constitution. The First Nation has the ability to tax its Citizens and other residents.
