Honouring the heritage and values of Yukon First Nations
Each Yukon First Nation has its own unique cultural practices - its own heritage. While there are many shared provisions in Chapter 13 of the Final Agreements around the governing and preservation of heritage in Yukon, each First Nation has its own specific ones as well.
These unique provisions allow for First Nations to make their own decisions and laws about sites in their territory in order to ensure their preservation and protection. These provisions guide how these sites are managed and how they are considered in Land Use Planning and other activities.
