Subsistence harvest rights Subsistence harvest rights are the rights of Indigenous Peoples to hunt, gather, ﬁsh and trap for food or traditional purposes. Exercising these rights does not require a Yukon hunting, angling or trapping licence.

Where do subsistence harvest rights apply? Citizens of Yukon First Nations with Final Agreements have subsistence harvest rights ithin the raditional erritory of their irst ation. Citiens can also harvest in the raditional erritory of other Yukon irst ations ith inal greements if they have ritten permission from that irst ation government. Permission does not apply to areas here raditional erritories overlap.

Tetlit Gwich’in beneﬁciaries of the ichin Comprehensive and Claim greement have subsistence harvest rights in the Primary se rea and the Secondary se rea, and in those areas of the raditional erritory of the irst ation of a-Cho yk Dun that do not overlap ith any other Yukon irst ations raditional erritory.

Asserted traditional territory is the area a First Nation’s Members’ ancestors used.

Where do subsistence harvest rights apply? Members of First Nations with asserted traditional territory in Yukon, but without comprehensive land claims agreements, have subsistence harvest rights within the asserted traditional territory of their First Nation.

In areas where subsistence harvest rights don’t apply, an Indigenous person will need a Yukon hunting licence and seals, angling licence, or trapping licence, and must follow the rules that apply for licensed harvest.
