  • 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.

New institutions of public government with responsibilities for land use planning and resources management are being created pursuant to land claim settlements. Resource management boards have, or will assume from DIAND, many of its historical regulatory responsibilities. However, in the interim, DIAND is still responsible for managing federal lands in a way that complements the activities of the new institutions and governments. This includes, as a specific component of DIAND’s sustainable development strategy, continuing to develop a program for the effective management of granular resources.

  • Selkirk First Nation - Community of Pelly Crossing
    FIRST NATION COMMUNITY PROFILES SELKIRK FIRST NATION - COMMUNITY OF PELLY CROSSING COMPLIMENTS OF YTG PHOTO GALLERY Selkirk First Nation History Pelly Crossing is the home of the Selkirk First Nation, part of the Northern Tutchone cultural and Athapaskan language group. The Northern Tutchone clan system is divided into two clans: the Wolf, and the Crow. Prior to the construction of the Klondike highway, the Northern Tutchone people camped at Fort Selkirk and Minto for parts of the year while hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering flora for food and medicines year-round throughout their traditional territory. A wide variety of game, including birds, water fowl, large game, wolf, wolverine, fox and marten was sought for food, clothing and other uses. Fort Selkirk is the location of a fur-trading fort established by Hudson’s Bay Company explorer Robert Campbell in the 1840’s. The fort was later burned by the Coastal Tlingits, and was rebuilt at the present site in 1850. Today, Fort Selkirk is an important heritage site and is co-managed by the Selkirk First Nation and the Government of Yukon. The Selkirk First Nation cultural centre at Pelly Crossing is housed in a replica of Fort Selkirk’s Big Jonathan House. This centre has a range of works by local artists as well as historical objects including audio recording of the northern Tutchone elders telling stories of the past. Selkirk First Nation administer the following departments in order to provide the services necessary to meet the needs of the members of their community: • Finance & Administration (internal support and central services), • Human Resources & Post Secondary Education (employment, post-secondary and adult education), • Lands, Resources and Heritage (lands, renewable resources and heritage), • Economic Development, • Public Works & Municipal Services (water septic, housing and maintenance), • Health & Social Services (community wellness, youth and elders), and • Governance (implementation of Final Agreement).

  • The History of Land Claims and Self-Government in the Yukon
    QS-Y347-000-BB-A1 The History of Land Claims and Self-Government in the Yukon . Land claims and self-government in the Yukon are the result of hard work and determination by a number of trail-breakers. The process began in 1902 when hereditary Chief of the Ta’an Kwach’an, Jim Boss, wrote urgently to the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs saying, “Tell the King very hard, we want something for our Indians because they take our land and game”. In 1973, an organization called the Yukon Native Brotherhood (now the Council of Yukon First Nations), led by Chief Elijah Smith, traveled to Ottawa to present a proposal called Together Today for our Children Tomorrow. This document laid the foundation for the negotiation of land claims and self-government for Yukon First Nations. Negotiations between Yukon First Nations and the Government of Canada; and later with the Government of Yukon continued for the next 20 years until the Umbrella Final Agreement was signed in 1993. This document served as the foundation for the individual Final and Self-Government Agreements that would follow both immediately and over the coming years. The Ta’an Kwach’an signed their agreements in 2002, 100 years after Chief Boss’ letter.

KDC also applies for a declaration that Yukon has breached its duty to consult. At the outset, it is important to understand that KDC seeks a declaration that the duty to consult and accommodate arises prior to issuing sport hunting licences and tags on an annual basis under the Wildlife Act and Regulations. Yukon states that it is consulting and is ready to continue. KDC submits that Yukon refuses to discuss the preliminary strength of claim issue.
