Your Yukon adventure starts here.Welcome to our Yukon page,
Although much of Canada still has the flavor of the "last frontier", it's only when you embark on the mainland push north, that you know for certain you're leaving the mainstream of North American life behind. In the popular imagination, the north figures as a perpetually frozen wasteland blasted by ferocious gloomy winters, inhabited - if at all - by hardened characters beyond the reach of civilization. In truth, it's a region where months of summer sunshine offer almost limitless opportunities for outdoor activities and an incredible profusion of flora and fauna; a country within a country, the character of whose settlements has often been forged by the mingling of white settlers and aboriginal peoples. The indigenous hunters of the north are as varied as in the south, but two groups predominate: the Dene, people of the northern forests who traditionally occupied the Mackenzie River region from the Albertan border to the river's delta at the Beaufort Sea; and the Arctic Inuit (literally "the people"), once known as the Eskimos or "fish eaters", a Dene term used by early European settlers is now discouraged.
