Surveyed Cadastral Framework for Yukon First Nations Settlement Lands and Tetlit Gwich'in Yukon Lands (settlement like) of the First Nations that have ratified their agreements. Settlement land is land identified in a First Nation's land claim agreement as settlement land of the first nation. There are three types of Settlement Land that a Yukon First Nation can own and manage: Category A: ownership of surface and subsurface; Category B: ownership of the surface only; Fee Simple (FS): private ownership. Note: Some surveys for Settlement Lands identified in their agreement are not yet complete therefore there may be parcels identified with the same land claim selection ID. Each Yukon First Nation has one Category A and Category B parcel identified as their adjustment boundary to adjust any changes in land quantum – as described in chapter 15.6. in each Yukon First Nations’ Final Agreement.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).

The First Nations geographic location dataset contains the geographic location of First Nations (groups and subgroups) in Canada as points as well as basic attributes data. The location identifies where the First Nations live. Each First Nation point represents its administrative office address as it is registered in Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) Band Governance Management System (BGMS). When the First Nation administrative office is located outside its associated most populated reserve boundary, adjustments are made to relocate the point within its boundaries, otherwise within the boundaries of another associated reserve or the city where the administrative office is located. When the administrative office or the First Nation is impossible to locate, the location is based on the best available information on the First Nation (e.g. official First Nation Web site). A connection with the BGMS is in place to ensure that any update to the system is reflected in the attributes data associated with the location of each First Nation.This dataset is Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) and Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) official source for First Nation geographic location on maps.

Notice: This layer is out of date and scheduled to be retired October 31, 2026.Yukon First Nations and Tetlit Gwich'in settlement lands including both rural blocks (R-block) and Fee Simple lands of the First Nations that have ratified their agreements. Settlement land is land identified in a first nation's final agreement as settlement land of the first nation. There are three types of settlement land that a Yukon First Nation can own and manage: Category A: complete ownership of surface and subsurface; Category B: complete ownership of the surface only; Fee Simple: private ownership. This data was built using the 1:250,000 National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) as the base and the 1:30,000 signed Territorial Research Base Maps (TRBM) to define the boundaries.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).

A tribal council is a grouping of First Nations with common interests who voluntarily joined together to provide services to member First Nations.The tribal council geographic location dataset contains the geographic location of all tribal councils in Canada as points as well as basic attributes data. Each tribal council point represents its address as it is registered in Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Indian Government Support System (IGSS). A connection with the IGSS is in place to ensure that any update to the system is reflected in the attributes data associated with the geography of each tribal council. This dataset is Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) official source for Tribal Councils geographic location on maps.

The data identifies First Nation treaties and other agreements, such as land purchases by the Crown. This file was used to create a reference map illustrating the 46 treaties and other agreements signed between 1781 and 1930.

This dataset contains all the unsurveyed Yukon First Nations Interim Protected Lands. Interim Protected Lands are lands withdrawn from disposal by Orders in Council (OIC) under the Lands Act and Territorial Lands (Yukon) Act to facilitate the settlement of Yukon First Nation claim in the Yukon.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).

For the purpose of this dataset, an Indigenous government or group refers to both elected Indigenous governments, and entities that are formally designated to represent individual Indigenous rights-holders but does not include Indigenous advocacy organizations such as the Assembly of First Nations, the Council of Yukon First Nations or boards, committees or councils established to represent community interests.For the purpose of this data set, Indigenous governments can include but is not limited to a Yukon First Nation or a transboundary Indigenous government. A “Yukon First Nation” refers to a First Nation that is included in the definition of “Yukon First Nation” in the Umbrella Final Agreement, and includes: Carcross/Tagish First Nation, Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, Kluane First Nation, Kwanlin Dün First Nation, Liard First Nation (Kaska Nation), Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation, First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, Ross River Dena Council (Kaska Nation), Selkirk First Nation, Ta’an Kwach’an Council, Teslin Tlingit Council, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in (identified in the Umbrella Final Agreement as “Dawson First Nation”), Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, and White River First Nation.A transboundary Indigenous government refers to an Indigenous government that is based outside of the Yukon, and includes: Acho Dene Koe First Nation, Dease River First Nation (Kaska Nation), Kwadacha Nation (Kaska Nation), Gwich’in Tribal Council, Tetlit Gwich’in Council, Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, Inuvialuit Game Council, Tahltan Central Government, Taku River Tlingit First Nation, and Pehdzeh Ki First Nation.For this dataset, a boundary is a depiction of a division between different geographic regions associated with an Indigenous government (e.g., a full or partial periphery of a “traditional territory”). A boundary can include, but is not limited to, a “traditional territory” or “Traditional Territory”. For this dataset, a traditional territory or Traditional Territory is a geographic area where a group of Indigenous Peoples holds or asserts Indigenous rights, and which may be established by a treaty or confirmed in a court ruling.The term “Traditional Territory” (capitalized) is defined in the Umbrella Final Agreement and specifically refers to the territories identified in the maps submitted by each Yukon First Nation during the negotiation of that agreement and each Yukon First Nation final agreement. Some Indigenous governments and groups or the text of their treaty agreements do not use the term “traditional territory”. For example, the Gwich’in Tribal Council’s boundary in Yukon is more accurately described as Tetlit Gwich'in Yukon Lands and the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation’s boundary in Yukon is more accurately described as the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Historical use and occupancy information can be used to understand assertions of rights within a traditional territory that has not been formally established.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).

Traditional territories of Yukon first nations and settlement areas of Inuvialuit and Tetlit Gwich'in within the Yukon Territory. This data was built using the 1:1,000,000 Digital Chart of the World (DCW) data as the base and the 1:500,000 hardcopy traditional territory maps as signed by individual First Nation chiefs on November 8, 1988 for the line work.The White River First Nation asserted traditional territory boundary in this dataset was updated on November 7, 2024.The Acho Dene Koe First Nation asserted traditional territory boundary in this dataset was updated on June 16, 2025.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).
