Council of Yukon First Nations

En 1973, la Fraternité des Autochtones du Yukon et l’Association des Indiens non inscrits du Yukon se sont réunies pour former le Conseil des Indiens du Yukon, connu aujourd’hui sous le nom de Conseil des Premières Nations du Yukon, afin de négocier les revendications territoriales au nom de tous les membres des Premières Nations du Yukon. Aujourd’hui, le CPNY travaille avec les Premières Nations du Yukon et les soutient afin qu’elles aient davantage leur mot à dire sur ce qui se passe dans le territoire. Il s’agit notamment de réunir les dirigeants, d’assurer la représentation des Premières Nations du Yukon et leur participation aux conseils et comités territoriaux, et de veiller à ce que les points de vue des Premières Nations du Yukon soient partagés et entendus sur les grandes questions qui se posent dans le territoire.
