The Yukon Land Claims Agreement is a historic treaty signed in 1993 between the Government of Canada and the First Nations of Yukon. It aims to recognize and protect the rights of Indigenous peoples over their traditional lands, ensuring they have a say in land management and resource development. The agreement covers approximately 41,000 square kilometers of land and includes provisions for self-government. This agreement is part of a broader movement in Canada to address historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities. It establishes a framework for cooperation between the Yukon First Nations and the Canadian government, promoting economic development and cultural preservation.
