    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.

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.

Names such as Aishihik, Kusuwa and Tuchitua are just a few of the native names found on a modern map of the Yukon. Yukon First Nations named rivers, mountains, lakes and landmarks long before the first non-native explorers and settlers arrived in the territory. Names such as Gyò Cho Chú (Big Salmon River) tell where animals and fish are plentiful. Other names, such as Thechä`l Mäˉn (Sekulman Lake), ‘Stone Scraper for Hides’ describe artifacts, people and events. Today’s Yukon First Nations still remember these names and are working to record them for future generations.
