It tells the story of an era-the time when Canada was founded, the search was on for the Northwest Passage, and the race for the North Pole began in earnest, and the time of the Metis rebellion and the Klondike gold rush. William Bompas was a normal boy, reared in a Baptist setting, probably as confused as any teenager today. He studied for ordination in the Church of England. At 21, after hearing a powerful sermon indicating the need for a young missionary to replace the ailing Reverend Robert McDonald in the Canadian northwest, Bompas volunteered to go with the Church Missionary Society and was ordained in the Anglican Church. Three weeks later, on June 30, 1865, he was westward bound on a steamer. On Christmas day of that year, he arrived in Fort Simpson ready to begin his work, only to find the Rev. McDonald fully recovered.

Insights interviewees shared regarding successes and obstacles to service provision can be found in the following sections of this chapter. Their recommendations for service provision to victimized people can be found at the end of this chapter. In addition, many respondents shared their understanding of informal and traditional ways of dealing with victims. Traditional and Existing Informal Victim Services in the Yukon Territory The purpose of gathering information on traditional First Nations of dealing with victimization is to explore approaches that may have worked in the past, and that therefore might be built into the design of any new victim-centred services. The purpose of gathering information on current informal ways of dealing with victims is to understand how gaps in contemporary formal services are being addressed. Given the degree of need, and the competing demands for limited resources, it is important to learn from, and to build on, the informal supports that have worked in the past, and continue to work in the present.

Extractions: History CYFN Today Culture and Language There are eight distinct languages spoken by Yukon First Nation peoples: Tlingit and six Athapaskan languages - Upper Tanana, Gwitchin, Han, Northern Tutchone, Southern Tutchone, Kaska and Tagish. Others, including Tahltan are less well represented but are also part of Yukon First Nations' cultural heritage. Many Yukon elders are multilingual. Complex oral histories and customs have evolved over many generations. However, rapid changes brought Sam Johnston on by the 1896-98 Klondike Goldrush, and the 1942 opening the Alaska Highway have led to English becoming the most frequently spoken language among Yukon First Nation people. Other forces have worked to erode Yukon First Nation cultural traditions. From 1950-60 governments and the churches combined their resources in an intensive effort to 'assimilate' Yukon Indians into the settler population. During the 1970s and 80s, Yukon First Nations began to reassert their right to control education as part of the overall movement to achieve a land claim settlement. In 1972, the Yukon Native Brotherhood's position paper "Education of Yukon Indians" challenged the federal and territorial governments to change their cultural assimilation practices. Since 1977, Yukon First Nations (through the Council for Yukon Indians and the Council of Yukon First Nations) have administered a program of language research and instruction to native language instructors in public schools. Today, the Yukon Native Language Centre is internationally recognized for its expertise in Native language instruction and research.

Extractions: Advanced Search Contact Us Site Map Fran§ais ... Yukon at a Glance Language is the vehicle of culture. The way culture is shared and passed on to the young is deeply interwoven with ideas expressed in language. With each passing year, Yukon aboriginal people have become more aware that their languages are disappearing. Although Yukon native people have only known 150 years of contact with the English-Canadian culture, aboriginal languages are in danger of being lost. In recent years, native communities have shown that by keeping their language and culture alive and active, they can strengthen and unite their communities. In this way, language is connected to their economic and social well-being. In the Yukon, there are eight different language groups of which seven are Athapaskan. The other group is Tlingit. Vuntut Gwitchin The Gwitchin have been known by many names including Crow River (Vunta) Kutchin and Loucheaux, a name given to them by French fur traders. Their "home" river has always been the Crow which flows into the Porcupine and into the Yukon River. In the past, the Gwitchin were made up of many independent families whose activities depended upon seasonal food gathering. The traditional Gwitchin habitat included about 10,000 square miles of land, with many people coming together each year to fish on the Porcupine River.
