This does not include our road Trip from Whitehorse, Yukon to Skagway, Ak.
Then taking the Ferry from Skagway, Alaska to Haines, Alaska, and then road trip back to Haines Junction, Yukon.
One of the many places we visited was the Kluane National Park and Reserve Visitor Centre. The Centre is located in the Da Kų Cultural Centre in Haines Junction.
The Centre deals with the First Nation Tribes of Champagne and Aishihik, along with history dealing with the First Nations and the returning of the lands. Interesting thing, when the Alaska Highway was being build, the land North of the highway was taken away. The people were told they could no longer hunt or live on that side of the road.
The Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) is a self-governing First Nation located in the southwest Yukon and northern British Columbia. CAFN's Constitutional right to govern its land, people and resources was confirmed with the signing of the CAFN Final Agreement with the governments of Canada and Yukon in 1993.Of the Yukon's fourteen First Nations, CAFN is one of the largest with a membership of more than 1,200 citizens. The CAFN Traditional Territory covers 41,000 square kilometers, 29,000 of which are located in the Yukon and 12,000 in British Columbia.
