41. Yukon Indians And The Klondike Gold Rush Examines the life and culture of the native yukon people and how their lives were impacted by the Klondike Gold Rush. http://yukonalaska.com/klondike/indians.html

February 27, 1998 Yukon Indians and the Gold Rush With few exceptions, native people do not figure prominently in written accounts of the Klondike gold rush. As a race of self-sufficient people, however, it was almost their undoing as tens of thousands of 'civilized' people suddenly invaded their traditional homeland. Because of their greed for gold, the whites imposed their laws and languages, their religions and social customs. They brought new diseases against which the Indians had no immunities. They brought alcohol which helped them exploit native men and women. And they brought segregation and racial discrimination. Prior to European contact, the native population of this northern region was made up of several thousand people spread out in small camps and villages over hundreds of thousands of square miles. For centuries native trade patterns included travel through different mountain passes of the region, including the Chilkoot Pass. This coveted route had been the exclusive domain of coastal Tlingit peoplethe Chilkoots who guarded the pass, and their brother Chilkats from the western arm of Lynn Canal. In doing so they also controlledand jealously guardedaccess to the interior. As a result, they held a virtual trade monopoly with other native peoples of Alaska and the Yukon. The Chilkoots enjoyed and prospered as 'middlemen'. On one hand they dictated terms to the early explorers and white traders who wanted furs, and to the Southern Tutchone and Tagish people of the interior who were eager for European trade goods. Trade patterns also included the Han and Kutchin who occupied the regions to the north.

Did American Aborigines have Culture? by Bill Jones First, I do not like the word Aborigine, because it implies ignorance and the opposite of culture. So, let us use Native American instead and make its meaning inclusive of all early people of North America. Then we can decide the matter of culture. Timelines, before the European influence in North America, are vague and controversial. They are also prejudicially biased with long held presumptions that only Europeans possessed culture, and all others were sub-humans, savages, pagans, without meaning or connection or importance to human evolution or history . This prejudice has been religion-based since the 15th century, when the Spanish Conquistadors ravaged the populations of Central America and parts of the present United States. The two main religious faiths of the world, Christianity and Islam, also bear a high measure of responsibility for present day ignorance of prehistoric peoples and their part in human evolution. Both Islam and Christianity have always been highly prejudiced against all spiritual beliefs other than their own. The written words of both the Bible and the Koran contain creeds and commandments that require the persecution and genocide against all people who have other spiritual beliefs. Both the Bible and the Koran encourage, even command, that all who worship other gods or idols be utterly destroyed, their symbols and idols broken, and the non-believers be persecuted with vengeance and driven from the lands.

The days of the Klondike may be long gone, but you'll discover that dining in the Yukon is an experience that's worth its weight in gold. The Klondike National Historic Sites commemorate the discovery of gold on a branch of the Klondike River in 1896, the event which touched off the Klondike Gold Rush. Museums and Cultural Attractions The Yukon Territory still reverberates with the cry of "GOLD!" first heard on the banks of Bonanza Creek in 1898. A trip to any of the Territory's museums and living historical sites will transport you back in time to the era of the Klondike Gold Rush. Performing Arts Visit Dawson City and the Klondike National Historic Sites, and you'll be treated to the same music, dance and theatre that entertained the prospectors at the turn of the century.

She loved to hear them talk about the traditions and culture of her people, and recount the histories of the Tagish and Tlingit people of southern Yukon through the ancient stories that had been passed down from generation to generation. Angela Sidney devoted much of her life to preserving the stories of her people, the Tagish of the southern Yukon. Her legacy is left in the many books she authored and a storytelling festival held each summer that she inspired. But Sidney was living in a time of transition and as she grew older, she noticed that fewer and fewer of the people around her were telling the old stories. She worried that the Tagish language, in particular, and the history and culture of the Aboriginal people of the southern Yukon, would be lost. So Sidney, one of the last fluent speakers of the Tagish language, decided to take on the responsibility to preserve the language and the stories. The result of her effort can be seen, not only in the number of books she authored, but in an annual storytelling festival that she inspired.

Development Backgrounder Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Yukon Region Economic Development Projects Government of Yukon has received $95,000 to conduct an aeromagnetic survey of the northern portion of the Peel Plateau, which straddles the Yukon-Northwest Territories border just south of the Mackenzie Delta. The potential for natural gas is high but largely untested because of the high cost of the aeromagnetic surveys, which are best suited for areas with poor surface exposure such as the Peel Plateau. The Government of Yukon will use the information to manage its oil and gas resources and make it available to the public and industry to encourage exploration. The survey, the second covering high-potential sections of the Peel Plateau to be supported by the Knowledge and Innovation Fund, will extend eastward with funding from the Government of the Northwest Territories. Government of Yukon has received $90,000 to develop and test an array of innovative economic strategies to support small manufacturers, northern house construction, and arts and culture. The proposal, submitted by the Yukon Departments of Finance, Business, Tourism and Culture, and Yukon Housing, will help Yukon businesses compete with their southern counterparts by generating data and testing strategies aimed at building a skill base throughout the Yukon and creating long-term employment opportunities.
