The Kluane Region is an area recommended for future planning.
The area mainly encompasses the Traditional Territories of:
- Champagne & Aishihik First Nations
- Kluane First Nation
- White River First Nation
The Yukon Land Use Planning Council is prepared to recommend planning proceed in this region once these governments and Yukon Government reach a Memorandum of Understanding.
A land use plan is being developed for the Alaska Highway West by Champagne & Aishihik First Nation and Yukon Government.
The Kluane plan would draw upon the work done by the Greater Kluane Land Use Planning Commission, which undertook planning in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, prior to the UFA Chapter 11 planning process.
In 1991, the Greater Kluane Land Use Planning Commission submitted its plan for the region. The plan makes recommendations for land management policies and practices. It also delineates areas where recommendations are to be applied. The plan was revised in 1992, with minor updates. A 1998 Draft was produced to reflect First Nation Final Agreements, modernized language and new legislative context.
