Premier hopes for more partnerships between territory and Canadian Armed Forces
For the first time, Carcross/Tagish First Nation elders and land guardians helped plan and execute annual Canadian Armed Forces exercises in the Yukon.
Land guardians ensured activities on the land this month wouldn’t affect traplines or spiritual sites, and advised which areas might work best for planned maneuvers. They also passed on some winter survival skills.
