In today’s episode, we’re commemorating over 125 years of the creation of the Yukon Territory. We speak with Paul Caesar-Jules, a Kaska youth from Watson Lake. He tells us about his work at Liard First Nation’s Language Department, where he digitizes tapes of elders communicating in Dene languages. We also hear from Yukon historian Michael Gates, who takes us back to the 1978 discovery of Hollywood silent films, buried under the permafrost in Dawson City -- and what this discovery tells us about the Gold Rush. Finally, we speak with Regional Chief Kluane Adamek. She speaks about the essential role that Indigenous youth play in shaping the future of the Yukon, and about the importance of matrilineal leadership in her community.
