Kaska

The area mainly encompasses the Kaska Nation Traditional Territories of:

  • Liard First Nation
  • Ross River Dena Council

The Ross River Dena Council has proposed an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area in the Tลซ ลฤซฬdlini (Ross River) area and are working with the Yukon and Federal Governments to advance this idea.

The two Yukon Kaska First Nations do not have Final Agreements under the Umbrella Final Agreement. However,ย  we believe that Chapter 11 land use planning under the UFA can occur in areas without land claim agreements if desired by a Yukon First Nation. YLUPC supports any Yukon First Nation wishing to undertake regional land use planning.

The UFA (Pg.8) names all First Nations in Yukon as โ€œYukon First Nationsโ€ and therefore within the mandate of Chapter 11.
