Yukon is made up of the traditional territory of 14 First Nations. Each First Nation possesses both shared and individual heritage and cultures, languages, and systems of governance. Whether you belong to a Yukon First Nation or not, it is important to learn the history of the Yukon, to understand the current realities and acknowledge that we all have a role in the implementation of the land claims and self-government agreements.
To work towards this goal, Yukon University is requiring that all staff and students achieve core competency in the basic knowledge of Yukon First Nations.
If you are a student taking one of the programs or courses listed below you do not need to complete this training.
At some point you can expect to interact with Yukon First Nation people or First Nation governments. Taking this course will help in many ways: your career path, personal growth, and understanding the area that you live in.
For students and employees of YukonU only, please enrol in the YFN 101 course in Moodle. Contact the IT Help Desk if you need support accessing Moodle.
