A National Conversation on First Nation Self-Government
Yukon First Nations have more than fifteen years of experience with Self-Government. Over that decade and half they have faced numerous challenges, from the transition from an Indian Act Band to obtaining adequate funding. Despite these challenges, there has been great success. The impact on our people, and the ability to control and benefit from our land and its riches, cannot be underestimated. The Yukon Regional Office of the Assembly of First Nations, in partnership with Self-Governing Yukon First Nations invite you to a conference focused on examining what has made self-government successful and what is required to ensure its success over the decades to come.
Whether you are already self-governing and have experiences of your own to share, or are currently in negotiations, you will find this conference valuable. We believe it will provide self-governing nations the opportunity to learn from each other and explore avenues to work together to advance self-government. It will also provide those nations negotiating or nearing effective date the opportunity to learn from the mistakes and successes of nations who have recently experienced the transition to self-government.
