Films and Movies
For decades, CPAWS Yukon has organized, or helped organize and guide, on-the-land trips into different areas. These trips always include Citizens of all ages from those areas, and sometimes different artists, journalists, guardians, researchers or technicians, funders, politicians, and other local supporters and staff from Yukon First Nations.
Beaver River Watershed
The unspoiled landscapes of the Beaver River Watershed provide vital habitat for moose, wolves, grizzly bears, river otter, Chinook salmon, and trumpeter swans. The diverse landscape falls within the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, and it’s marked with wetlands and small lakes, as well as dramatic alpine passes.
Porcupine Caribou Herd
The Arctic Refuge is called Iizhik Gwats’an Gwandaii Goodlit by the Gwich’in, The Sacred Place Where Life Begins. For countless generations caribou have sustained the Gwich’in communities across the north.
Peel Watershed
From its dramatic peaks and high plateaus to its sprawling river valleys and wetlands, the Peel is one of Canada’s natural wonders. Four First Nations call the Peel home – the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and Tetlit Gwich’in – and have for millennia hunted, fished and trapped in the Peel and received cultural nourishment from it.
