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.

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.

  • The Kluane Monitoring Project
    THE COMMUNITY ECOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM ANNUAL DATA REPORT 2019 Charles J. Krebs, Tom Jung, Mark O’Donoghue, Piia Kukka, Scott Gilbert, Shawn Taylor, Alexandra Francis, Rudy Boonstra, Stan Boutin, and Alice J. Kenney Key Ecosystem Changes in 2019 - White spruce cone crop high only at Kluane and Whitehorse - Ground berry crops and soapberries low in almost all areas - Mushrooms scarce at most areas but abundant at Kluane - Snowshoe hares declining with poor reproductive success - Red squirrels at Kluane at record low numbers with little reproduction - Small rodents at very low numbers - Lynx declining but still common but coyotes have declined to low numbers - Marten very low at Kluane and scarce at Mayo Executive Summary To determine how the boreal forest ecosystem will respond to climate change we have been monitoring white spruce cone crops, ground berry production, mushroom abundance, small mammals, snowshoe hares, and carnivore abundance at Kluane Lake, Mayo, Faro, Watson Lake, and Whitehorse. This is the 20th annual report to summarize these data. 2019 was an extraordinary year. White spruce cone counts were very high at Kluane and Whitehorse in 2019 but very low at other sites. Ground berries in the forest were moderate to low in 2019 with some variability in berry counts from site to site. Soapberries were few in 2019 at Whitehorse, and low also at Mayo and Kluane. Red-backed voles declined to low numbers at Kluane in 2019 and remained at low densities at all other CEMP areas for 2019. Snowshoe hares declined 65% from Fall 2018 to Fall 2019 in all areas except Whitehorse and Watson Lake, which have perennial very low hare abundance on the CEMP sites.

  • Haines Junction Walking Tour
    Historic Sites Da Kų Cultural Centre HAINES JUNCTION WALKING TOUR Historic Sites HAINES JUNCTION WALKING TOUR A Brief History The traditional Southern Tutchone name for this area is Dakwäkäda, which means “high cache place.” The name refers to the particular type of storage structure that First Nations people (Dän) traditionally built in this location. These high or elevated caches, known as dakwäkäts, were used to store and protect goods from scavengers. Goods might be furs that had been trapped the previous year, or provisions being put up for the upcoming winter, including foods such as dried moose meat (äthän gän), gophers (tsäl), rabbits (ga) and groundhogs (denji). These important foods were harvested during the late summer hunt in the local area. The caches were also situated where several traditional trails (tän) intersected. These included the route connecting Klukshu village to the south with Kloo Lake to the northwest, and the major east-west foot trail connecting communities to the east (Hutchi, Champagne, Whitehorse) with points west such as Bear Creek village and the Kluane Lake area. The first “road” through theDakwäkäda area followed much of the route of the region’s major east-west foot trail. Following the discovery of gold in 1903, the Kluane Wagon Road was developed to serve mining properties near Kluane Lake. For the next four decades the well- used wagon road connected this area to the outside world. George Chambers of Champagne, operator of the Whitehorse-Kluane Stage Line, delivered mail via this route in the 1930s. When the American army began building the Alaska Highway in 1942, it generally followed the route of the Kluane Wagon Road.
