The terms and conditions of use that apply to those lands vary and are set out in their relevent legislation. This map reflects our best understanding of the current status of the various Yukon lands portrayed. Every effort has been made to ensure accurate representation of the type, size, and location of designation. However, it does not constitute a legal opinion. For clarification, readers should consult with the various agencies responsible for the Bonnet Plume administration of those lands. Basin The land depicted is a generalized graphical representation of areas that are appropriate to be displayed at a 1:2,000,000 scale; smaller areas are not shown. The accuracy of the digital is adequate for the representation at this scale but the data should not be used at a more detailed scale. The data are not to be used for statistical analysis, nor should they be used to resolve boundary issues.

  • 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.

  • 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.
