Umbrella Final Agreement
The Umbrella Final Agreement is a comprehensive land claims agreement between the Government of Canada and the Council of Yukon First Nations. Signed in 1997, it aims to address the rights and interests of the Indigenous peoples in the Yukon Territory, providing a framework for self-governance, land management, and resource sharing.
This agreement includes provisions for the establishment of self-governing First Nations, the management of land and resources, and the protection of cultural heritage. It serves as a model for reconciliation and cooperation between Indigenous communities and the government, promoting economic development and social well-being in the region.
